Jeremiah 7:18

Do Not Pray For Judah

¹⁷ Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? ¹⁸ The sons gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger. ¹⁹ Do they vex Me? says Jehovah. Is it not themselves, to the shame of their own faces?
