Origen, on Jer 7:17

Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Jer 7:17 · Douay-Rheims
“Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?”
On this verse:
“You will find at least in the book of Jeremiah the words of God censuring by the mouth of the prophet the Jewish people for doing obeisance to such objects and for sacrificing to the queen of heaven and to all the host of heaven. The writings of the Christians, moreover, show, in censuring the sins committed among the Jews, that when God abandoned that people on account of certain sins, these sins of idol worship also were committed by them.”
