Jeremiah 7:17-19
Contemporary English Version
17 Do you see what the people of Judah are doing in their towns and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 (A) Children gather firewood, their fathers build fires, and their mothers mix dough to bake bread for the goddess they call the Queen of Heaven.[a] They even offer wine sacrifices to other gods, just to insult me. 19 But they are not only insulting me; they are also harming themselves by doing these shameful things.
