Do Not Pray For Judah

¹⁷ Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah, and without Jerusalem? ¹⁸ The children gather sticks, the fathers kindle the fire, the mothers knead the dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven. They pour out drink offerings unto strange gods, to provoke me unto wrath. ¹⁹ Howbeit, they hurt not me," sayeth the LORD, "but rather confound, and shame themselves."
