Jeremiah 7:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ Jeremiah, you must not pray for this people. Do not ask me to help them. If you ask me to save them, I will not listen to you. ¹⁷ You can see what they are doing in Jerusalem and in all the towns of Judah. ¹⁸ The children fetch wood and their fathers use it to light a fire. The women prepare flour to cook cakes. Then they offer them to the “Queen of Heaven”. And they offer gifts of drink to other false gods. They do that to make me angry.
