Jeremiah 11:14-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴“As for you, do not pray for these people. Do not raise up a cry or a prayer on their behalf,^(A) for I will not be listening when they call out to me at the time of their disaster.

¹⁵What right does my beloved have
to be in my house,^(B)
having carried out so many evil schemes?
Can holy meat^[a]^(C) prevent your disaster^[b]
so you can celebrate?
¹⁶The Lord named you
a flourishing olive tree,^(D)
beautiful with well-formed fruit.
He has set fire to it,
and its branches are consumed^[c]^(E)
with the sound of a mighty tumult.^(F)
