Jeremiah 11:17-19

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ The Lord informed me, so I knew.
Then you helped me to see their deeds,
¹⁹ for I was like a docile^[b] lamb led to slaughter.^(B)
I didn’t know that they had devised plots against me:
“Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit;^[c]
let’s cut him off from the land of the living^(C)
so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
