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.
