Jeremiah 7:17

Dost thou not see what, they, are doing In the cities of Judah,—and In the streets of Jerusalem?

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

In Context

16Thou, therefore—Do not pray for this people Neither lift up for them cry or prayer Neither intercede with me,—For I am not going to hear thee.

18The children, gather wood, and The fathers, kindle the fire, and The women, knead dough,—To make sacrificial cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, Provoking me to anger!
