Jeremiah 7:20-22

International Children’s Bible

²⁰ “‘So this is what the Lord says: I will pour out my anger on this place. I will pour it out on man and animal. I will pour out my anger on the trees in the field. And I will pour it out on the crops in the ground. My anger will be like a hot fire. And no one will be able to put it out.

Obedience Is More than Sacrifice

²¹ “‘This is what the Lord of heaven’s armies, the God of Israel, says: Go and offer as many burnt offerings and sacrifices as you want! Eat the meat of those sacrifices yourselves! ²² I brought your ancestors out of Egypt. I spoke to them. But I did not give them commands only about burnt offerings and sacrifices.
