Jeremiah 18:18-20
Legacy Standard Bible
18 Then they said, “Come and let us (A)devise plans against Jeremiah. Surely the (B)law is not going to perish from the priest, nor (C)counsel to the wise man, nor the divine (D)word to the prophet! Come on and let us (E)strike at him with our tongue, and let us (F)give no heed to any of his words.”
19 Do give heed to me, O Yahweh,
And listen to the voice of those who contend against me!
20 (G)Should good be repaid with evil?
For they have (H)dug a pit for [a]me.
Remember how I (I)stood before You
To speak good on their behalf,
So as to turn away Your wrath from them.
