Jeremiah 11:15-17
King James Version
15 What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
16 The Lord called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
17 For the Lord of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil 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 unto Baal.

New International Version
15 “What is my beloved doing in my temple
as she, with many others, works out her evil schemes?
Can consecrated meat(A) avert your punishment?(B)
When you engage in your wickedness,
then you rejoice.[a]”

with fruit beautiful in form.
But with the roar of a mighty storm
he will set it on fire,(D)
and its branches will be broken.(E)
17 The Lord Almighty, who planted(F) you, has decreed disaster(G) for you, because the people of both Israel and Judah have done evil and aroused(H) my anger by burning incense to Baal.(I)
