Jeremiah 7:16-20
Legacy Standard Bible
16 “As for you, (A)do not pray for this people and do not lift up a cry of lamentation or prayer for them and do not intercede with Me, for I am not hearing you. 17 Are you not seeing what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 The [a]children gather wood, and the fathers make the fire burn, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they (B)pour out drink offerings to other gods in order to (C)provoke Me. 19 (D)Do they provoke Me?” declares Yahweh. “Is it not themselves they provoke to the (E)shame of their own face?” 20 Therefore thus says Lord Yahweh, “Behold, My (F)anger and My wrath will be poured out on this place, on man and on beast and on the (G)trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground; and it will burn and not be quenched.”

Jeremiah 7:16-20
New King James Version
16 “Therefore (A)do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; (B)for I will not hear you. 17 Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 (C)The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they (D)pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger. 19 (E)Do they provoke Me to anger?” says the Lord. “Do they not provoke themselves, to the shame of their own faces?”
20 Therefore thus says the Lord God: “Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place—on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched.”
