Jeremiah 11:11-17

11Therefore thus says the Lord, “Behold I am 1bringing disaster on them which they will 2not be able to escape; though they will 3cry to Me, yet I will not listen to them. 12Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will 4go and cry to the gods to whom they burn incense, but they surely will not save them in the time of their disaster. 13For your gods are 56as many as your cities, O Judah; and 7as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the 8shameful thing, altars to 9burn incense to Baal.

14“Therefore 10do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will 11not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster.15What right has My 12beloved in My house When 13she has done many vile deeds? Can the sacrificial flesh take away from you your disaster, 14So that you can rejoice?”16The Lord called your name, “A 15green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”; With the 16noise of a great tumult He has 17kindled fire on it, And its branches are worthless. 17The Lord of hosts, who 18planted you, has 19pronounced evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have 20done to provoke Me by 2122offering up sacrifices to Baal.
