Jeremiah 7:18Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingThe sons gather sticks, and the fathers kindle a fire; and women sprinkle together inner fatness, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, to make sacrifice to alien gods, and to stir me to wrathfulness [or to wrath]. See the chapter |
The Lord of hosts, God of Israel, saith these things, and speaketh, Ye and your wives spake with your mouths, and [ful] filled with your hands, and said, Make we our vows which we vowed, that we make sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and offer to it moist sacrifices; ye [ful] filled your vows, and did those [or them] in work.
and I had brought them into the land on which I raised mine hand, that I should give [it] to them, they saw each high little hill, and each tree full of boughs, and they offered there their sacrifices, and they gave there their offerings, into stirring me to wrath; and they set [or put] there the odour of their sweetness, and they offered their moist sacrifices.
And he led me within, into the inner foreyard of the house of the Lord; and lo! in the door of the temple of the Lord, betwixt the porch and the altar, were as five and twenty men having their backs against the temple of the Lord, and their faces to the east; and they worshipped at the rising of the sun.
