Jeremiah 7:16 in Context — Jeremiah 7

14 Haré también á esta casa sobre la cual es invocado mi nombre, en la que vosotros confiáis, y á este lugar que dí á vosotros y á vuestros padres, como hice á Silo:

15 Que os echaré de mi presencia como eché á todos vuestros hermanos, á toda la generación de Ephraim.

16 Tú pues, no ores por este pueblo, ni levantes por ellos clamor ni oración, ni me ruegues; porque no te oiré.

17 ¿No ves lo que estos hacen en las ciudades de Judá y en las calles de Jerusalem?

18 Los hijos cogen la leña, y los padres encienden el fuego, y las mujeres amasan la masa, para hacer tortas á la reina del cielo y para hacer ofrendas á dioses ajenos, por provocarme á ira.
