Jeremiah 11:17-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷“The Lord of Hosts who planted you^(A) has decreed disaster against you, because of the harm the house of Israel and the house of Judah brought on themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.”

¹⁸The Lord informed me, so I knew.
Then You helped me to see their deeds,
¹⁹for I was like a docile^[a] lamb led to slaughter.^(B)
I didn’t know that they had devised plots against me:
“Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit;^[b]
let’s cut him off from the land of the living^(C)
so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
