Jeremiah 18:18-20
Living Bible

18 Then the people said, “Come, let’s get rid of Jeremiah. We have our own priests and wise men and prophets—we don’t need his advice. Let’s silence him that he may speak no more against us, nor bother us again.”

19 O Lord, help me! See what they are planning to do to me! 20 Should they repay evil for good? They have set a trap to kill me, yet I spoke well of them to you and tried to defend them from your anger.

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.
