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
New Living Translation
15 “What right do my beloved people have to come to my Temple,
when they have done so many immoral things?
Can their vows and sacrifices prevent their destruction?
They actually rejoice in doing evil!
16 I, the Lord, once called them a thriving olive tree,
beautiful to see and full of good fruit.
But now I have sent the fury of their enemies
to burn them with fire,
leaving them charred and broken.
17 “I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, who planted this olive tree, have ordered it destroyed. For the people of Israel and Judah have done evil, arousing my anger by burning incense to Baal.”
