Jeremiah 11:16

Jeremiah 11:16

14 “So ^ado not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to Me because of their trouble.

15 “What^a has My beloved to do in My house,
Having ^bdone lewd deeds with many?
And ^cthe holy flesh has passed from you.
When you do evil, then you ^drejoice.

16 The Lord called your name,
^aGreen Olive Tree, Lovely and of Good Fruit.
With the noise of a great tumult
He has kindled fire on it,
And its branches are broken.

17 “For the Lord of hosts, ^awho planted you, has pronounced doom against you 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 to Baal.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Jeremiah 11:15

Jeremiah 11:17 >>

Fair - The Lord fixed thee when he brought thee first into Canaan, in a flourishing condition, like a fair olive - tree, fit to bear goodly fruit. Broken - But thou hast so behaved thyself, that he who planted thee, is about to pluck thee up. God is about to kindle a fire which will burn thee up, and to break thy branches.
