What does Jeremiah 14:12 mean?

Even if they fast, I won’t listen to their cries. Even if they offer burnt offerings and sacrifices, I won’t accept them. Instead, I’ll destroy them with war, famine, and disease. Jeremiah 14:12 - Modern Text Bible

(Religious rituals won’t change God’s mind. The people’s actions have consequences that can’t be avoided by outward shows of repentance.)
