16“As for you, 1do not prayH6419 for thisH2088 peopleH5971, and do not liftH5375 up cryH7440 or prayerH8605 for them, and do not intercedeH6293 with Me; for I do not hearH8085 you. 17Do you not seeH7200 whatH4100 they are doingH6213 in the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389? 18The 2childrenH1121 gatherH3950 woodH6086, and the fathersH1 kindleH1197 the fireH784, and the womenH802 kneadH3888 doughH1217 to makeH6213 cakesH3561 for the queenH4446 of heavenH8064; and they 3pourH5258 out drinkH5262 offeringsH5262 to otherH312 godsH430 in orderH4616 to 4spiteH3707 Me. 195Do they spiteH3707 Me?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “Is it not themselves they spite, to 6their ownH6440 7shameH1322H6440?” 20ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH136 8GodH3068, “BeholdH2009, My 9angerH639 and My wrathH2534 will be pouredH5413 out on thisH2088 placeH4725, on manH120 and on beastH929 and on the 10treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 and on the fruitH6529 of the groundH127; and it will burnH1197 and not be quenchedH3518.”
