Jeremiah 11:14-16
Complete Jewish Bible
14 “So you, [Yirmeyahu,] don’t pray for this people! Don’t cry or pray on their behalf, because I won’t listen to them when they cry to me because of their troubles. 15 What right does my beloved have to be in my house, when she has behaved so shamelessly with so many? Offerings of consecrated meat can no longer help, because it is when you are doing evil that you are happy.”
16 Adonai once called you an olive tree,
beautiful, full of leaves and good fruit.
Now with the roar of a violent storm,
he has set it on fire;
and its branches will be consumed.
Jeremiah 11:14-16
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.
