Jeremiah 7:19
"The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger."
Key Reflection
In Jeremiah 7:19, these verses depict a scene where families participate in pagan rituals, offering sacrifices and making cakes to idols like the queen of heaven. This illustrates how religious practices can become deeply ingrained and passed down through generations, even when they lead away from true worship of God.
