Jeremiah

Jeremiah 14:11–12

¹¹Then the LORD said to me, “Do not pray for the well-being of this people. ¹²Although they may fast, I will not listen to their cry; although they may offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will finish them off by sword and famine and plague.”
