Jeremiah 11:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 “So as for you, (A)do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will (B)not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster.
15 What right has My (C)beloved in My house
When (D)she has carried out many evil schemes?
Can the sacrificial flesh take away from you your disaster,
[a]So that you can rejoice?”
16 The Lord named you
“A (E)green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”;
With the (F)noise of a great [b]tumult
He has (G)set fire to it,
And its branches are worthless.

16 The Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
