The olive tree

14But as for you, do not pray for this people, and do not lift up a cry or prayer on their behalf, for I am not listening at the time when they call to me because of their disaster.

15What right has my beloved in my house, when she has done her many wicked schemes? Can holy flesh remove your evil from you? Then you rejoice!

16The LORD called your name, ‘A green olive tree, beautiful with good fruit.’ At the sound of a great roar he set fire to it, and its branches are ruined.

17And Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has spoken disaster against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, which they have done to themselves, provoking me to anger by making offerings to Baal.
