Jeremiah 18:23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 Yet you, O Lord, know
all their plotting to kill me.
Do not forgive their iniquity;
do not blot out their sin from your sight.
Let them be tripped up before you;
deal with them while you are angry.(A)
Psalm 69:22-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 Let their table be a trap for them,
a snare for their allies.(A)
23 Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see,
and make their loins tremble continually.(B)
24 Pour out your indignation upon them,
and let your burning anger overtake them.(C)
25 May their camp be a desolation;
let no one live in their tents.(D)
26 For they persecute those whom you have struck down,
and those whom you have wounded they attack still more.[a](E)
27 Add guilt to their guilt;
may they have no acquittal from you.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living;
let them not be enrolled among the righteous.(F)

Jeremiah’s Life Threatened
18 It was the Lord who made it known to me, and I knew;
then you showed me their deeds.
19 But I was like a gentle lamb
led to the slaughter.
And I did not know it was against me
that they devised schemes, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit;
let us cut him off from the land of the living,
so that his name will no longer be remembered!”(A)
20 But you, O Lord of hosts, who judge righteously,
who try the heart and the mind,
let me see your retribution upon them,
for to you I have committed my cause.(B)
Jeremiah 8:12

Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
at the time when I punish them, they shall be overthrown,
says the Lord.(A)
