Letter of Jeremiah 1:29 In-Context

27 The things that are sacrificed to them, their priests sell and abuse: in like manner also their wives take part of them, but give nothing of it either to the sick, or to the poor.
28 The childbearing and menstruous women touch their sacrifices: knowing therefore by these things that they are not gods, fear them not.
29 For how can they be called gods? because women set offerings before the gods of silver, and of gold, and of wood:
30 And priests sit in their temples, having their garments rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing upon their heads.
31 And they roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead.
