but they will not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
011:013 For according to the number of your cities are your gods, Judah;
and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have
you set up altars to the shameful thing, even altars to burn
incense to Baal.
011:014 Therefore don't you pray for this people, neither lift up cry
nor prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time
that they cry to me because of their trouble.
011:015 What has my beloved to do in my house, seeing she has worked
lewdness [with] many, and the holy flesh is passed from you?
when you do evil, then you rejoice.
011:016 Yahweh called your name, A green olive tree, beautiful with
goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled
fire on it, and the branches of it are broken.
011:017 For Yahweh of Armies, who planted you, has pronounced evil
against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and
of the house of Judah, which they have worked for themselves
in provoking me to anger by offering incense to Baal.
011:018 Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it: then you shown

on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
012:001 Righteous are you, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet would
I reason the cause with you: why does the way of the wicked
prosper? why are all they at ease who deal very treacherously?
012:002 You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow,
yes, they bring forth fruit: you are near in their mouth,
and far from their heart.
012:003 But you, Yahweh, know me; you see me, and try my heart toward you:
pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them
