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.”
