Jeremiah 18:18-20
New International Reader's Version

18 They said, “Come on. Let’s make plans against Jeremiah. We’ll still have priests to teach us the law. We’ll always have wise people to give us advice. We’ll have prophets to bring us messages from the Lord. So come on. Let’s speak out against Jeremiah. We shouldn’t pay any attention to what he says.”

19 Lord, please listen to me!
    Hear what my enemies are saying about me!
20 Should the good things I’ve done be paid back with evil?
    But my enemies have dug a pit for me.
Remember that I stood in front of you
    and spoke up for them.
    I tried to turn your anger away from them.

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.
