Jeremiah 18:18-20

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁸ Then they said, “Let’s develop a plan for dealing with Yirmeyahu. Torah won’t be lost from the cohanim, or counsel from the wise, or words from the prophets. So come, let’s destroy him with slander; and meanwhile, we won’t pay attention to anything he says.”

¹⁹ Pay attention to me, Adonai!
Listen to what my opponents are saying!
²⁰ Is good to be repaid with evil?
For they have dug a pit [to trap] me.
Remember how I stood before you
and spoke well of them,
in order to turn your anger
away from them?
