Jeremiah 11:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And the Lord of hosts that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee: for the evils of the house of Israel, and the house of Juda, which they have done to themselves, to provoke me, offering sacrifice to Baalim.

¹⁸ But thou, O Lord, hast shewn me, and I have known: then thou shewedst me their doings.

¹⁹ And I was as a meek lamb, that is carried to be a victim: and I knew not that they had devised counsels against me, saying: Let us put wood on his bread, and cut him off from the land of the living, and let his name be remembered no more.
