11:15 The Lord says to the people of Judah, 4
“What right do you have to be in my temple, my beloved people? 5
Many of you have done wicked things. 6
Can your acts of treachery be so easily canceled by sacred offerings 7
that you take joy in doing evil even while you make them? 8
11:16 I, the Lord, once called 9 you a thriving olive tree,
one that produced beautiful fruit.
But I will set you 10 on fire,
fire that will blaze with a mighty roar. 11
Then all your branches will be good for nothing. 12
11:17 For though I, the Lord who rules over all, 13 planted you in the land, 14
I now decree that disaster will come on you 15
because the nations of Israel and Judah have done evil
and have made me angry by offering sacrifices to the god Baal.” 16
