16 The Lord named you
“A (A)green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”;
With the (B)noise of a great [a]tumult
He has (C)set fire to it,
And its branches are worthless.
17 The Lord of armies, who (D)planted you, has (E)pronounced evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, which they have [b]done to provoke Me by [c](F)offering sacrifices to Baal.

Then You showed me their deeds.
