Jeremiah 7:20-22
EasyEnglish Bible
20 The Lord God says, ‘Because I am so angry, I will punish this land very much. It will be like a fire that nobody can stop. My punishment will destroy people, animals, trees and crops.’
21 The Lord Almighty, Israel's God, says this to Judah's people: ‘You should eat the meat from your burnt offerings, as well as your other sacrifices. You are not offering them to me![a] 22 Remember this: I brought your ancestors safely out of Egypt. Then I gave them my commands. Those commands were not only about burnt offerings and sacrifices.

- 7:21 The people should not eat meat from burnt offerings. See Leviticus 1:6-9. God is telling them that they are not obeying his laws at all. So their sacrifices were not important to him any more. The rules about sacrifices were no longer important.
