Jeremiah 11:14-16
New Catholic Bible
14 Do not intercede for this people or offer a prayer on their behalf, for I will not listen to their cries for help that they will raise during the time of their misfortune.
The Lord Rebukes Judah
15 What right does my beloved have to be in my house
when she perpetrates such vile deeds?
Can vows and sacrificial meat
turn away the disaster that threatens you
and allow you to exult?
16 The Lord once called you a green olive tree
that was filled with leaves and fruit.
But now, with the roar of a mighty storm,
he will set it ablaze,
and its branches will be consumed.
Jeremiah 11:14-16
New International Version
14 “Do not pray(A) for this people or offer any plea or petition for them, because I will not listen(B) when they call to me in the time of their distress.
