Jeremiah 11:18-20

Lexham English Bible

¹⁸ Moreover, Yahweh let it be made known to me, and I knew.
    Then you showed me their deeds.
¹⁹ And I was like a gentle ram-lamb that is brought to slaughter,
    and I did not know that they planned plans against me, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
    and let us cut him off from the land of the living,
    so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
²⁰ But O Yahweh of hosts, who judges in righteousness,
    who tests the inmost being,^[a] and the mind,^[b]
let me see your retribution upon them,
    for to you I have revealed my legal case.
