Jeremiah 18:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 To make their land desolate, and a perpetual derision, so that everyone that passeth thereby, shall be astonished and wag his head,
17 I will scatter them with an East wind before the enemy: I will show them the back, and [a]not the face in the day of their destruction.
18 Then said they, Come, and let us imagine some device against Jeremiah: for the Law [b]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 [c]tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

- Jeremiah 18:17 I will show mine anger and not my favor toward them.
- 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.
- Jeremiah 18:18 Let us slander him, and accuse him: for we shall be believed.
