Jeremiah 7:17-19

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ Don’t you see how they behave in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? ¹⁸ The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven,^[a](A) and they pour out drink offerings to other gods so that they provoke me to anger. ¹⁹ But are they really provoking me?” ^(B) This is the Lord’s declaration. “Isn’t it they themselves being provoked to disgrace?”
