(C)Can you then exult? 16 The Lord once called you (D)‘a green olive tree, beautiful with good fruit.’ But (E)with the roar of a great tempest he will set fire to it, and (F)its branches will be consumed. 17 The Lord of hosts, (G)who planted you, has decreed disaster against you, because of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done, (H)provoking me to anger by making offerings to Baal.”

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.”
