Jeremiah 11:14-16
Modern English Version

14 Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them. For I will not hear them in the time that they cry to Me because of their trouble.

15 What right has My beloved in My house,
    seeing that she has done many lewd deeds?
    Can the sacrificial meat take away from you your disaster,
    so that you can rejoice while doing evil?

16 The Lord called your name,
    “A green olive tree, fair in fruit and form.”
With the noise of a great tumult
    He has kindled fire upon it,
    and its branches are broken.
