Jeremiah 11:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ The Lord called thy name, a plentiful olive tree, fair, fruitful, and beautiful: at the noise of a word, a great fire was kindled in it and the branches thereof are burnt.

¹⁷ And the Lord of hosts that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee: for the evils of the house of Israel, and the house of Juda, which they have done to themselves, to provoke me, offering sacrifice to Baalim.

¹⁸ But thou, O Lord, hast shewn me, and I have known: then thou shewedst me their doings.
