12 Go to Shiloh, the first place where I chose to be worshiped, and see what I did to it because of the sins of my people Israel.
13 You have committed all these sins, and even though I spoke to you over and over again, you refused to listen. You would not answer when I called you.
14 And so, what I did to Shiloh I will do to this Temple of mine, in which you trust. Here in this place that I gave to your ancestors and you, I will do the same thing that I did to Shiloh.
15 I will drive you out of my sight as I drove out your relatives, the people of Israel. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
16 The Lord said, “Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not cry or pray on their behalf; do not plead with me, for I will not listen to you.
17 Don't you see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
18 The children gather firewood, the men build fires, and the women mix dough to bake cakes for the goddess they call the Queen of Heaven. They also pour out offerings of wine to other gods, in order to hurt me.
