Jeremiah 11:19-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 for I was like a docile[a] lamb led to slaughter.(A)
I didn’t know that they had devised plots against me:
“Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit;[b]
let’s cut him off from the land of the living(B)
so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
20 But, Lord of Hosts, who judges righteously,
who tests(C) heart[c] and mind,(D)
let me see Your vengeance on them,
for I have presented my case to You.(E)
21 Therefore, here is what the Lord says concerning the people of Anathoth(F) who want to take your life. They warn, “You must not prophesy in the name of Yahweh, or you will certainly die at our hand.”
