Jeremiah 11:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ But I was like a lamb, a bullock that is brought to the slaughter. And I did not know that they had devised this against me, saying, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and cut him out of the land of the living, so that his name may be remembered no more.”

²⁰ But, O LORD of Hosts, Who judges righteously and tests the inner core and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them! For to You have I opened my cause!

²¹ Therefore, the LORD speaks this of the men of Anathoth, who seek your life, and say, “Do not prophesy in the Name of the LORD, so that you do not die by our hands.”
