Jeremiah 11:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² The ·people living in the towns [^Ltowns] of Judah and the ·city [^Linhabitants] of Jerusalem will ·pray [^Lcry for help] to ·their idols [^Lthe gods] to whom they burn incense. But ·those idols [^Lthey] will not be able to ·help [save them] when ·disaster [harm; evil] comes. ¹³ Look, people of Judah, you have as many ·idols [^Lgods] as there are towns in Judah. You have built as many altars to burn incense to that shameful god Baal as there are streets in Jerusalem.’

¹⁴ “As for you [^CJeremiah], don’t pray for these people or cry out for them or ask anything for them. I will not listen when they call to me in the time of their ·trouble [disaster; harm; evil].
