Jeremiah 18:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible

18 Then said they, Come, and let us imagine some device against Jeremiah: for the Law [a]shall not perish from the Priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the Prophet: come, and let us smite him with the [b]tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

19 Hearken unto me, O Lord, and hear the voice of them that contend with me.

20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have dug a pit for my soul: remember that I stood before thee, to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 18:18 This argument the wicked have ever used against the servants of God. The Church cannot err: we are the Church, and therefore whosoever speaketh against us, they ought to die, 1 Kings 22:24; Jer. 7:4 and 20:2; Mal. 2:4, and thus the false Church persecuteth the true Church, which standeth not in outward pomp, and in multitude, but is known by the graces of the holy Ghost.
  2. Jeremiah 18:18 Let us slander him, and accuse him: for we shall be believed.

Jeremiah 18:18-20
New International Version

18 They said, “Come, let’s make plans(A) against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest(B) will not cease, nor will counsel from the wise,(C) nor the word from the prophets.(D) So come, let’s attack him with our tongues(E) and pay no attention to anything he says.”

19 Listen to me, Lord;
    hear what my accusers(F) are saying!
20 Should good be repaid with evil?(G)
    Yet they have dug a pit(H) for me.
Remember that I stood(I) before you
    and spoke in their behalf(J)
    to turn your wrath away from them.
