Jeremiah 7:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ But am I really the one they are hurting? No, they are hurting themselves and bringing shame on themselves. ²⁰ And so I, the Sovereign Lord, will pour out my fierce anger on this Temple. I will pour it out on people and animals alike, and even on the trees and the crops. My anger will be like a fire that no one can put out.

²¹ “My people, some sacrifices you burn completely on the altar, and some you are permitted to eat. But what I, the Lord, say is that you might as well eat them all.
