Jeremiah 11:18-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁸ Moreover, the Lord ^(A)made it known to me and I knew it;
Then You showed me their deeds.
¹⁹ But I was like a gentle ^(B)lamb led to the slaughter;
And I did not know that they had ^(C)devised plots against me, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its ^[a]fruit,
And ^(D)let us cut him off from the ^(E)land of the living,
That his ^(F)name be remembered no more.”
²⁰ But, O Lord of hosts, who ^(G)judges righteously,
Who ^(H)tries the ^[b]feelings and the heart,
Let me see Your vengeance on them,
For to You have I ^[c]committed my cause.
