Jeremiah 7:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women kneed the dough to make cakes to [a]the Queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me unto anger.
19 Do they provoke me to anger, saith the Lord, and not themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, mine anger and my wrath shall be poured upon this place; upon man and upon beast, and upon the tree of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground, and it shall burn and not be quenched.
