Jeremiah 7:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?

¹⁸ The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to offer libations to strange gods, and to provoke me to anger.

¹⁹ Do they provoke me to anger, saith the Lord? Is it not themselves, to the confusion of their contenance?
