Jeremiah 7:18
7:18 Children are gathering firewood, fathers are building fires with it, and women are mixing dough to bake cakes to offer to the goddess they call the Queen of Heaven.
They are also pouring out drink offerings to other gods. They seem to do all this just
to trouble me.
Jeremiah 8:19
8:19 I hear my dear people crying out
throughout the length and breadth of the land.
They are crying, ‘Is the Lord no longer in Zion?
Is her divine King no longer there?’”
The Lord answers,
“Why then do they provoke me to anger with their images,
with their worthless foreign idols?”
Jeremiah 11:17
11:17 For though I, the Lord who rules over all, planted you in the land,
I now decree that disaster will come on you
because the nations of Israel and Judah have done evil
and have made me angry by offering sacrifices to the god Baal.”
Jeremiah 32:29-30
32:29 The Babylonian soldiers
that are attacking this city will break into it and set it on fire. They will burn it down along with the houses where people have made me angry by offering sacrifices to the god Baal and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods on their rooftops.
32:30 This will happen because the people of Israel and Judah have repeatedly done what displeases me
from their earliest history until now
and because they
have repeatedly made me angry by the things they have done.
I, the
Lord, affirm it!
Jeremiah 32:32
32:32 I am determined to do so because the people of Israel and Judah have made me angry with all their wickedness – they, their kings, their officials, their priests, their prophets, and especially the people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem
have done this wickedness.
Jeremiah 44:8
44:8 That is what will result from your making me angry by what you are doing.
You are making me angry by sacrificing to other gods here in the land of Egypt where you live. You will be destroyed for doing that! You will become an example used in curses
and an object of ridicule among all the nations of the earth.
