Jer 7:18 | MHM | STEP | v. 18 : The people have turned to worship the “queen of heaven.” This likely refers to the moon or a goddess associated with it, as was common among pagan nations. Families work together to make offerings: children gather wood, fathers light fires, and mothers bake cakes for their idols. Instead of honoring the true God, they direct their devotion to lifeless creations. This shows their complete rejection of God’s law and their love for false worship (Jeremiah 7:18; Job 31:26 ; Acts 7:42 ).
