Jeremiah 7:19
Judah’s Idolatry Persists
18The sons gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead the dough to make cakes for the Queen of Heaven; they pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke Me to anger.19But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?
