Jeremiah 11:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ I was like a gentle lamb
    led to the slaughter.
I didn’t know that they had devised schemes
    against me. They told themselves,^[a]
“Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit.
    Let’s eliminate him from the land of the living,
        so his name won’t be remembered again.”
²⁰ Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the righteous judge,
    the one who tests feelings and the heart,
let me see your vengeance on them,
    for I’ve committed my case to you.
