Jeremiah 11:16-19

16The Lord once called you a‘a green olive tree, beautiful with good fruit.’ But bwith the roar of a great tempest he will set fire to it, and cits branches will be consumed. 17The Lord of hosts, dwho planted you, has decreed disaster against you, because of the evil that the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done, eprovoking me to anger by making offerings to Baal.”

18 The Lord made it known to me and I knew;
then you showed me their deeds.
19But I was flike a gentle lamb
led to the slaughter.
I did not know git was against me
they devised schemes, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
hlet us cut him off from ithe land of the living,
that his name be remembered no more.”
