Jeremiah 11:15-17
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 celebrate?
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 the sound of a mighty tumult.(E)
17 “The Lord of Armies who planted you(F) has decreed disaster against you, because of the disaster[d] the house of Israel and the house of Judah brought on themselves when they angered me by burning incense to Baal.”

Jeremiah 11:15-17
International Standard Version
15 “What right does my beloved have in my house,
when she has carried out many evil schemes?
Can sacrificial[a] flesh turn disaster away from you,
so you can rejoice?”
16 The Lord once called you a green olive tree,
with beautiful shape and fruit.
With a great roaring sound, he has set fire to it
and its branches will be destroyed.
17 The Lord of the Heavenly Armies who planted you has called for disaster on you because of the evil of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, has provoked me by burning incense to Baal.”
