Jeremiah 18:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ ‘Then they said, “Come, and let us imagine some device against Jeremiah! For the Law shall not perish from the Priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the Word from the Prophet. Come and let us strike him with the tongue! And let us not consider any of his words!”’”

¹⁹ Listen to me, O LORD, and hear the voice of those who contend with me.

²⁰ Shall evil be repaid for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before You, to speak good for them, to turn away Your wrath from them.
