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.

Jeremiah 11:15-17
Holman 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 rejoice?
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 a great roaring sound.(E)
17 “The Lord of Hosts who planted you(F) has decreed disaster against you, because of the harm the house of Israel and the house of Judah brought on themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.”
