Jeremiah 11:13-15
1599 Geneva Bible
13 [a]For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah, and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars of confusion, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
14 Therefore thou shalt not [b]pray for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for when they cry unto me in their trouble, I will not hear them.
15 What should my [c]beloved tarry in mine house, seeing they have committed abomination with many, and the holy flesh [d]goeth away from thee: yet when thou doest evil, thou rejoicest.
