14. Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
15. 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.
16. The LORD called your name, A green olive tree, fair, and with good fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
17. For the LORD of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
18. And the LORD has given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then you showed me their doings.

21. Therefore thus says the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek your life, saying,
22. Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts,
23. And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their judgment.
