Jeremiah 11:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ The Lord informed me and I knew.
    Then he helped me see what they were up to.
¹⁹ I was like a young lamb led to the slaughter;
    I didn’t realize that they were planning
        their schemes against me:
“Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit;
    let’s cut him off from the land of the living
    so that even any knowledge of him will be wiped out.”
²⁰ Lord of heavenly forces, righteous judge,
    who tests the heart and mind,
        let me see your revenge upon them,
        because I have committed my case to you.
