18 Then they said, “Come and let’s (A)devise plans against Jeremiah. Certainly the (B)Law is not going to be lost by the priest, nor (C)advice by the wise, nor the divine (D)word by the prophet! Come, and let’s (E)strike at him with our tongue, and let’s (F)pay no attention to any of his words.”

19 Give Your attention to me, Lord,
And listen to [a]what my opponents are saying!
20 (G)Should good be repaid with evil?
For they have (H)dug a pit for [b]me.
Remember how I (I)stood before You
To speak good in their behalf,
So as to turn Your wrath away from them.
