Jeremiah 11:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
16 Yahweh called your name,
“A (A)green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”;
With the (B)noise of a great tumult
He has (C)kindled fire on it,
And its foliage has an evil demise.
17 Yahweh of hosts, who (D)planted you, has (E)spoken forth evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have [a]done to provoke Me to anger by (F)burning incense to Baal.
Men Seek Jeremiah’s Life
18 Moreover, Yahweh (G)made it known to me, and I knew it;
Then You showed me their deeds.
