11:15 The Lord says to the people of Judah, ¹ 

“What right do you have to be in my temple, my beloved people? ² 

Many of you have done wicked things. ³ 

Can your acts of treachery be so easily canceled by sacred offerings ⁴ 

that you take joy in doing evil even while you make them? ⁵ 

11:16 I, the Lord, once called ⁶  you a thriving olive tree,

one that produced beautiful fruit.

But I will set you ⁷  on fire,

fire that will blaze with a mighty roar. ⁸ 

Then all your branches will be good for nothing. ⁹
