Jeremiah 11:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ “The LORD called your name, a green olive tree, fair, of good fruit. But with noise and great tumult, He has set fire upon it. And the branches of it are broken.

¹⁷ “For the LORD of Hosts, Who planted you, has pronounced a plague against you, for the wickedness of the House of Israel, and of the House of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger in offering incense to Baal.”

¹⁸ And the LORD has taught me, and I know it. Then You showed me their practices.
