Jeremiah 11:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and in appearance. At the voice of a great word he caused fire to be kindled upon it, and they broke her branches.

¹⁷ For the LORD of the hosts, that planted thee, has pronounced evil against thee for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.

¹⁸ ¶ And the LORD gave me knowledge of it, and I experienced it: then thou didst show me their doings.
