Jeremiah 11:19-21
New American Standard Bible

And I did not know that they had (B)devised plots against me, saying,
“Let’s destroy the tree with its [a]fruit,
And (C)let’s cut him off from the (D)land of the living,
So that his (E)name will no longer be remembered.”

Who (G)puts the [b]feelings and the heart to the test,
Let me see Your vengeance on them,
For to You I have [c]committed my cause.
21 Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the people of (H)Anathoth, who are (I)seeking your life, saying: “(J)Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, so that you do not (K)die by our hand”;
