16 A green olive tree, lovely and of good fruit, YHWH has called your name l with the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken. 17 And YHWH of Hosts who planted you has spoken evil against you on account of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal. 18 And YHWH has cause me to know, and I know it; then You showed me their deeds. 19 And I was docile like a lamb brought to the slaughter, and I did not know that they had devised schemes against me: “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name will not be remembered anymore. 20 And YHWH of Hosts is the One judging in righteousness, examining the kidneys and heart, let me see Your vengeance on them, for I have uncovered my dispute to You. 21 Therefore thus says YHWH concerning the men of Anathoth, those seeking your soul, saying, “Do not prophesy in the name of YHWH, and you will not die by our hand!— 22 Therefore thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I will punish them! The young men will die by the sword; their sons and their daughters will die by famine; 23 and there will be no remnant for them! For I will bring disaster to the men of Anathoth, the year of their punishment. Jeremiah 11:16-23, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
