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.
