14:11-12 For the third time (see 7:16; 11:14), God told Jeremiah not to pray for the people of Judah and Jerusalem. It would be pointless for the people to fast, since the Lord had decided to pay no attention. The priests’ presentation of burnt offerings and grain offerings, which the Lord had given Moses as a way of worshiping him (see Lev 1–2), would be wasted effort, because the Lord would not accept them. Instead, the Lord would respond with war, famine, and disease.
