Jeremiah 11:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ “What right does my beloved have in my house,
    when she has carried out many evil schemes?
Can sacrificial^[a] flesh turn disaster away from you,
    so you can rejoice?”
¹⁶ The Lord once called you a green olive tree,
    with beautiful shape and fruit.
With a great roaring sound, he has set fire to it
    and its branches will be destroyed.
