Jeremiah 11:17-19

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.”
