Jeremiah 11:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ “What is my lover, Judah, doing in my Temple?
    She makes many evil plans.
    Does she think animal sacrifices will stop her punishment?
When you do your evil, then you are happy.”
¹⁶ The Lord called you “a leafy olive tree,
    with beautiful fruit to look at.”
But with a strong storm
    the Lord will set that tree on fire.
    And its branches will be burned up.
