Jeremiah 11:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Therefore thou shalt not [a]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 [b]beloved tarry in mine house, seeing they have committed abomination with many, and the holy flesh [c]goeth away from thee: yet when thou doest evil, thou rejoicest.
16 The Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: but with [d]noise and great tumult he hath set fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
