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
New King James Version
15 “What(A) has My beloved to do in My house,
Having (B)done lewd deeds with many?
And (C)the holy flesh has passed from you.
When you do evil, then you (D)rejoice.
16 The Lord called your name,
(E)Green Olive Tree, Lovely and of Good Fruit.
With the noise of a great tumult
He has kindled fire on it,
And its branches are broken.
17 “For the Lord of hosts, (F)who planted you, has pronounced doom against you for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger in offering incense to Baal.”
