Jeremiah 11:19-21
Christian Standard Bible
19 for I was like a docile[a] lamb led to slaughter.(A)
I didn’t know that they had devised plots against me:
“Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit;[b]
let’s cut him off from the land of the living(B)
so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
20 But, Lord of Armies, who judges righteously,
who tests(C) heart[c] and mind,(D)
let me see your vengeance on them,
for I have presented my case to you.(E)
21 Therefore, here is what the Lord says concerning the people of Anathoth(F) who intend to take your life. They warn, “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord,(G) or you will certainly die at our hand.”

Jeremiah 11:19-21
New International Version
19 I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter;(A) I did not realize that they had plotted(B) against me, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree and its fruit;
let us cut him off from the land of the living,(C)
that his name be remembered(D) no more.”
20 But you, Lord Almighty, who judge righteously(E)
and test the heart(F) and mind,(G)
let me see your vengeance(H) on them,
for to you I have committed my cause.
21 Therefore this is what the Lord says about the people of Anathoth(I) who are threatening to kill you,(J) saying, “Do not prophesy(K) in the name of the Lord or you will die(L) by our hands”—
