Jeremiah 11:18-20
International Children’s Bible

Evil Plans Against Jeremiah

18 The Lord showed me that men were making plans against me. The Lord showed me what they were doing. So I knew they were against me. 19 Before this, I was like a gentle lamb waiting to be butchered. I did not know they had made plans against me. They said:

“Let us destroy the tree and its fruit!
    Let’s kill him!
    Then people will forget him!”
20 But, Lord of heaven’s armies, you are a fair judge.
    You know how to test peoples’ hearts and minds.
I will tell you what I have against them.
    And I will let you give them the punishment they should have!

Jeremiah 11:18-20
New International Version

Plot Against Jeremiah

18 Because the Lord revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing. 19 I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter;(A) I did not realize that they had plotted(B) against me, saying,

“Let us destroy the tree and its fruit;
    let us cut him off from the land of the living,(C)
    that his name be remembered(D) no more.”
20 But you, Lord Almighty, who judge righteously(E)
    and test the heart(F) and mind,(G)
let me see your vengeance(H) on them,
    for to you I have committed my cause.
