Jeremiah 7:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to offer libations to strange gods, and to provoke me to anger.

¹⁹ Do they provoke me to anger, saith the Lord? Is it not themselves, to the confusion of their contenance?

²⁰ Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold my wrath and my indignation was enkindled against this place, upon men and upon beasts, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruits of the land, and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
