15 What possession has My (A)beloved in My house
When (B)she has done many schemes of wickedness?
Can the flesh, which is set apart as holy, take away from you your calamity,
[a]So that you can exult?”
16 Yahweh called your name,
“A (C)green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”;
With the (D)noise of a great tumult
He has (E)kindled fire on it,
And its foliage has an evil demise.

17 Yahweh of hosts, who (F)planted you, has (G)spoken forth evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have [b]done to provoke Me to anger by (H)burning incense to Baal.

When (B)she has done many vile deeds?

[a]So that you can rejoice?”

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

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