The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of the sky, and to pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

ગુજરાતીયર્મિયા ૭:૧૮
મને રોષ ચઢાવવા માટે બાળકો લાકડાં વીણે છે તેઓના પિતાઓ અગ્નિ સળગાવે છે અને આકાશની રાણીને માટે રોટલી બનાવવા સારુ સ્ત્રીઓ લોટ ગૂંદે છે. અને અન્ય દેવોની આગળ તેઓ પેયાર્પણ ચઢાવે છે.
हिन्दीयिर्मयाह ७:१८
देख, बाल-बच्चे तो ईंधन बटोरते, बाप आग सुलगाते और स्त्रियाँ आटा गुँधत‍ी हैं, कि स्वर्ग की रानी के लिये रोटियाँ चढ़ाएँ; और मुझे क्रोधित करने के लिये दूसरे देवताओं के लिये तपावन दें।
