Jeremiah 11:15-19

15What hath my belovedH3039 to do in my houseH1004, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with manyH7227, and the holyH6944 fleshH1320 is passedH5674 from thee? when thou doest evilH7451, thenH227 thou rejoicest. 16Jehovah calledH7121 thy nameH8034, A green olive-tree, fair with goodly fruitH6529: with the noise of a greatH1419 tumult he hath kindledH3341 fireH784 upon it, and the branchesH1808 of it are broken. 17For Jehovah of hostsH6635, who plantedH5193 thee, hath pronounced evilH7451 against thee, because of the evilH7451 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, which they have wrought for themselves in provokingH3707 me to angerH3707 by offering incenseH6999 unto BaalH1168.

18And Jehovah gave me knowledge of it, and I knewH3045 it: thenH227 thou showedst me their doings. 19But I was like a gentle lambH3532 that is led to the slaughterH2873; and I knewH3045 not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroyH7843 the treeH6086 with the fruit thereof, and let us cutH3772 him off from the landH776 of the living, that his nameH8034 may be no more rememberedH2142.
