Jeremiah 11:9-17
9Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “A 1conspiracyH7195 has been foundH4672 among the menH376 of JudahH3063 and among the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389. 10They have 2turnedH7725 backH7725 to the iniquitiesH5771 of their 3ancestorsH7223 whoH834 4refusedH3985 to hearH8085 My wordsH1697, and they 5have goneH1980 afterH310 otherH312 godsH430 to serveH5647 them; the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 have 6brokenH6565 My covenantH1285 whichH834 I madeH3772 with their fathersH1.” 11ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009 I am 7bringingH935 disasterH7463 on them whichH834 they will 8not be ableH3201 to escapeH3318; though they will 9cryH2199 to Me, yet I will not listenH8085 to them. 12Then the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063 and the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 will 10goH1980 and cryH2199 to the godsH430 to whomH834 they burnH6999 incenseH6999, but they surelyH3467 will not saveH3467 them in the timeH6256 of their disasterH7463. 13For your godsH430 are 1112as manyH4557 as your citiesH5892, O JudahH3063; and 13as manyH4557 as the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 are the altarsH4196 you have setH7760 up to the 14shamefulH1322 thingH1322, altarsH4196 to 15burnH6999 incenseH6999 to BaalH1168.
14“Therefore 16do not prayH6419 for thisH2088 peopleH5971, norH408 liftH5375 up a cryH7440 or prayerH8605 for them; for I will 17not listenH8085 whenH6256 they callH7121 to Me becauseH1157 of their disasterH7463.15WhatH4100 right has My 18belovedH3039 in My houseH1004 WhenH3588 19she has doneH6213 manyH7227 vileH4209 deedsH4209? Can the sacrificialH6944 fleshH1320 takeH5674 awayH5674 from you your disasterH7463, 20SoH227 that you can rejoiceH5937?”16The LordH3068 calledH7121 your nameH8034, “A 21greenH7488 oliveH2132 treeH2132, beautifulH3303 in fruitH6529 and formH8389”; With the 22noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 tumultH1999 He has 23kindledH3341 fireH784 on it, And its branchesH1808 are worthlessH7489. 17The LordH3068 of hostsH6635, who 24plantedH5193 you, has 25pronouncedH1696 evilH7463 againstH5921 you becauseH1558 of the evilH7463 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, whichH834 they have 26doneH6213 to provokeH3707 Me by 2728offeringH6999 up sacrificesH6999 to BaalH1168.
