Jeremiah 11:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

Jeremiah 11:15-17
New American Standard Bible 1995
15 “What right has My (A)beloved in My house
When (B)she has done many vile deeds?
Can the sacrificial flesh take away from you your disaster,
[a]So that you can rejoice?”
16 The Lord 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 branches are worthless.
17 The Lord of hosts, who (F)planted you, has (G)pronounced 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 by [c](H)offering up sacrifices to Baal.
