Jeremiah 11:18-20

International Children’s Bible

Evil Plans Against Jeremiah

¹⁸The Lord showed me that men were making plans against me. The Lord showed me what they were doing. So I knew they were against me. ¹⁹Before this, I was like a gentle lamb waiting to be butchered. I did not know they had made plans against me. They said:

“Let us destroy the tree and its fruit!
    Let’s kill him!
    Then people will forget him!”
²⁰But, Lord of heaven’s armies, you are a fair judge.
    You know how to test peoples’ hearts and minds.
I will tell you what I have against them.
    And I will let you give them the punishment they should have!
