Jeremiah’s Fourth Complaint

18 Then the people said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah. Surely the teaching of the law by the priest will not be lost. And the advice from the wise men will still be with us. We will still have the words of the prophets. So let’s ruin him by telling lies about him! We won’t pay attention to anything he says.”

19 Lord, listen to me.
    Listen to what my accusers are saying!

Lord, remember that I stood before you
    and asked you to do good things for these people.
    I asked you to turn your anger away from them.
