Jeremiah 11:9-17

9Then the Lord said to me, “A 1conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 10They have 2turned back to the iniquities of their 3ancestors who 4refused to hear My words, and they 5have gone after other gods to serve them; the house of Israel and the house of Judah have 6broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.” 11Therefore thus says the Lord, “Behold I am 7bringing disaster on them which they will 8not be able to escape; though they will 9cry to Me, yet I will not listen to them. 12Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will 10go 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 1112as many as your cities, O Judah; and 13as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the 14shameful thing, altars to 15burn incense to Baal.

14“Therefore 16do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will 17not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster.15What right has My 18beloved in My house When 19she has done many vile deeds? Can the sacrificial flesh take away from you your disaster, 20So that you can rejoice?”16The Lord called your name, “A 21green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”; With the 22noise of a great tumult He has 23kindled fire on it, And its branches are worthless. 17The Lord of hosts, who 24planted you, has 25pronounced evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have 26done to provoke Me by 2728offering up sacrifices to Baal.
