Jeremiah 11:19-22

The Voice

¹⁹     I was like an unsuspecting lamb led to its slaughter.
        I had no idea they were plotting against me. They were saying,
    “Let’s cut down that lush olive tree and destroy all its beautiful fruit.^[a]
        Let’s cut him off from the land of the living.
    Let’s make sure no one even remembers his name.”
²⁰     But You, Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies, You who judge fairly,
        You know the heart and the mind.
    Let me see Your vengeance exacted against them;
        I am entrusting my cause, my future to You.
