Jeremiah 7:11-20 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

11. Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, said the Lord.

12. But go now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.

13. And now because ye have done all these works, said the Lord and I spoke well unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye did not hear; and I called you, but ye did not answer;

14. therefore I will do unto this house, which is called by my name, in which ye trust, and unto this place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

15. And I will cast you out of my sight as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.

16. Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.

17. Dost thou not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

18. The sons gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough to make cakes to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods that they may provoke me to anger.

19. Shall they provoke me to anger? said the Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

20. Therefore thus hath the Lord GOD said: Behold, my anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man and upon beast and upon the trees of the field and upon the fruit of the ground, and it shall burn and shall not be quenched.
