Jeremiah7:21

21 Thus saith the LORD of hosts the God of Israel; Put your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

The Ironical words of one that seems to be in a great rage, take those that are peculiar, and to be all burnt to me, Lev. 1.9. and put them to your own of what kind so ever, ea[illegible: 1 letter] them, and do what you will with them, I will have none of them, take it all and fill your own bellies, for you sacrifice not to me, but to your selves. See Hos. 9.4. where their meat-offerings are called in scorn, meat for their life to nourish their bodies.

That part of your Sacrifices, which you are allowed to eat, they are but as prophane food, do not you think to be sanctified by them, because I accept them not.
