Context Reading
12Then the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will go and cry to the gods to which they offer incense, but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble. 13For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn incense to Baal.’ 14“Therefore don’t pray for this people. Don’t lift up cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry to me because of their trouble. 15What has my beloved to do in my house,since she has behaved lewdly with many,and the holy flesh has passed from you?When you do evil,then you rejoice.” 16Yahweh called your name, “A green olive tree,beautiful with goodly fruit.”With the noise of a great roar he has kindled fire on it,and its branches are broken.
