Jeremiah 7:17 BBE

¹⁵  And I will send you away from before my face, as I have sent away all your brothers, even all the seed of Ephraim.

¹⁶  And as for you (Jeremiah), make no prayers for this people, send up no cry or prayer for them, make no request for them to me: for I will not give ear.

¹⁷  Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

¹⁸  The children go for wood, the fathers get the fire burning, the women are working the paste to make cakes for the queen of heaven, and drink offerings are drained out to other gods, moving me to wrath.

¹⁹  Are they moving me to wrath? says the Lord; are they not moving themselves to their shame?
