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 8:2
8:2 They will be spread out and exposed to the sun, the moon and the stars.
These are things they
adored and served, things to which they paid allegiance,
from which they sought guidance, and worshiped. The bones of these people
will never be regathered and reburied. They will be like manure used to fertilize the ground.

The Coming Destruction Calls For Mourning
9:10 I said,
“I will weep and mourn for the grasslands on the mountains,
I will sing a mournful song for the pastures in the wilderness
because they are so scorched no one travels through them.
The sound of livestock is no longer heard there.
Even the birds in the sky and the wild animals in the fields
have fled and are gone.”
Jeremiah 14:22
14:22 Do any of the worthless idols of the nations cause rain to fall?
Do the skies themselves send showers?

So we put our hopes in you
because you alone do all this.”

Jeremiah 19:7
19:7 In this place I will thwart
the plans of the people of Judah and Jerusalem. I will deliver them over to the power of their enemies who are seeking to kill them. They will die by the sword
at the hands of their enemies.
I will make their dead bodies food for the birds and wild beasts to eat.
Jeremiah 19:13

just like this place, Topheth. For they offered sacrifice to the stars
and poured out drink offerings to other gods on the roofs of those houses.’”

There will not be any nation where the refugees of Elam will not go.
