Jeremiah 11:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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)
