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
Common English Bible
15 What are my loved ones doing in my temple
while working out their many evil schemes?
Can sacred offerings cancel your sin
so that you revel in your evil deeds?[a]
16 The Lord named you,
“A blossoming olive tree, fair and fruitful”;
but with the blast of a powerful storm
he will set it ablaze,
until its branches are completely consumed.[b]
17 The Lord of heavenly forces who planted you has announced disaster for you, because the people of Israel and Judah have done evil and made me angry by worshipping Baal.
