Jeremiah 7:17

Jerusalem
Judgment

15 And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.

16 As for you, do not pray for these people, do not offer a plea or petition on their behalf, and do not beg Me, for I will not listen to you.

Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

18 The 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.

19 But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
