Jeremiah
Jeremiah 7:19–20
19But am I the One they are provoking? declares the LORD. Is it not themselves they spite, to their own shame?
20Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the trees of the field and the produce of the land, and it will burn and not be extinguished.
