New King James Version

Jeremiah 7:14-19 New King James Version (NKJV)

14. therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and 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—the whole posterity of Ephraim.

16. “Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; 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. The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.

19. Do they provoke Me to anger?” says the Lord. “Do they not provoke themselves, to the shame of their own faces?”
