Jeremiah 11:14-16
Common English Bible

14 As for you, don’t pray for these people, don’t cry out or plead for them, for I won’t listen when they cry out to me on account of their distress.

15 What are my loved ones doing in my temple
    while working out their many evil schemes?
Can sacred offerings cancel your sin
    so that you revel in your evil deeds?[a]
16 The Lord named you,
    “A blossoming olive tree, fair and fruitful”;
        but with the blast of a powerful storm
        he will set it ablaze,
        until its branches are completely consumed.[b]

New International Version

14 “Do not pray(A) for this people or offer any plea or petition for them, because I will not listen(B) when they call to me in the time of their distress.

15 “What is my beloved doing in my temple
    as she, with many others, works out her evil schemes?
    Can consecrated meat(C) avert your punishment?(D)
When you engage in your wickedness,
    then you rejoice.[a]”

16 The Lord called you a thriving olive tree(E)
    with fruit beautiful in form.
But with the roar of a mighty storm
    he will set it on fire,(F)
    and its branches will be broken.(G)
