Jeremiah 11:11-17

11Therefore this is what the Lord says: “Behold, I am 1bringing disaster on them which they will 2not be able to escape; though they will 3cry out to Me, I will not listen to them. 12Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will 4go and cry out to the gods to whom they 5burn incense, but they certainly will not save them in the time of their disaster. 13For your gods are 67as many as your cities, Judah; and 8as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the 9shameful thing, altars for 1011burning incense to Baal.

14“So as for you, 12do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will 13not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster.15What right has My 14beloved in My house When 15she has carried out many evil schemes? Can the sacrificial flesh take away from you your disaster, 16So that you can rejoice?”16The Lord named you “A 17green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form”; With the 18noise of a great 19tumult He has 20set fire to it, And its branches are worthless. 17The Lord of armies, who 21planted you, has 22pronounced evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, which they have 23done to provoke Me by 2425offering sacrifices to Baal.
