Yirmeyah 7:16-18

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁶ Therefore pray not thou on behalf of HaAm Hazeh, neither lift up plea nor tefillah for them, neither make intercession to Me; for I will not hear thee.

¹⁷ Seest thou not what they do in the towns of Yehudah and in the chutzot (streets of) Yerushalayim?

¹⁸ The banim gather wood, and the avot kindle the eish, and the nashim knead their batzek (dough), to make cakes to the Malkat HaShomayim (Queen of Heaven), and to pour out nesakhim (drink offerings) unto elohim acherim, that they may provoke Me to anger.
