Plot against Jeremiah

18 Then certain ones said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah,(A) for instruction will never be lost from the priest,(B) or counsel from the wise, or an oracle from the prophet.(C) Come, let’s denounce him[a] and pay no attention to all his words.”

19 Pay attention to me, Lord.
Hear what my opponents are saying!(D)
20 Should good be repaid with evil?
Yet they have dug a pit for me.(E)
Remember how I stood before You
to speak good on their behalf,
to turn Your anger from them.
