Jeremiah 11:14-16
New Life Version

14 “So do not pray for these people. Do not lift up a cry or prayer for them. For I will not listen when they call to Me because of their trouble. 15 What right has My loved one to be in My house when she has done many sinful acts? Can animals killed on My altar take your trouble away from you? Can you then find joy?” 16 The Lord called you, “A green olive tree, beautiful and with good fruit.” But with a noise like thunder He set fire to it, and its branches were destroyed.

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.

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)
