Jeremiah 11:15-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 What right does My beloved have
to be in My house,(A)
having carried out so many evil schemes?
Can holy meat[a](B) prevent your disaster[b]
so you can rejoice?
16 The Lord named you
a flourishing olive tree,(C)
beautiful with well-formed fruit.
He has set fire to it,
and its branches are consumed[c](D)
with a great roaring sound.(E)
17 “The Lord of Hosts who planted you(F) has decreed disaster against you, because of the harm the house of Israel and the house of Judah brought on themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.”

Jeremiah 11:15-17
King James Version
15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
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.
17 For the Lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
