Jeremiah 11:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 What right has My (A)beloved in My house
When (B)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 (C)green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”;
With the (D)noise of a great [b]tumult
He has (E)set fire to it,
And its branches are worthless.
17 The Lord of armies, who (F)planted you, has (G)pronounced evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, which they have [c]done to provoke Me by [d](H)offering sacrifices to Baal.

15 “What(A) has My beloved to do in My house,
Having (B)done lewd deeds with many?
And (C)the holy flesh has passed from you.
When you do evil, then you (D)rejoice.

(E)Green Olive Tree, Lovely and of Good Fruit.
With the noise of a great tumult
He has kindled fire on it,
And its branches are broken.

New International Version
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]”

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)
17 The Lord Almighty, who planted(F) you, has decreed disaster(G) for you, because the people of both Israel and Judah have done evil and aroused(H) my anger by burning incense to Baal.(I)
