Jeremiah 18:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

A Plot against Jeremiah

¹⁸Then they said, “Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah—for instruction shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, let us bring charges against him,^[a] and let us not heed any of his words.”

¹⁹Give heed to me, O Lord,
    and listen to what my adversaries say!
²⁰Is evil a recompense for good?
    Yet they have dug a pit for my life.
Remember how I stood before you
    to speak good for them,
    to turn away your wrath from them.
