Jeremiah 18:18-20
New Century Version

Jeremiah’s Fourth Complaint

18 Then the people said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah. Surely the teaching of the law by the priest will not be lost. We will still have the advice from the wise teachers and the words of the prophets. So let’s ruin him by telling lies about him. We won’t pay attention to anything he says.”

19 Lord, listen to me.
    Listen to what my accusers are saying!
20 Good should not be paid back with evil,
    but they have dug a pit in order to kill me.
Remember that I stood before you
    and asked you to do good things for these people
    and to turn your anger away from them.

Jeremiah 18:18-20
New International Version

18 They said, “Come, let’s make plans(A) against Jeremiah; for the teaching of the law by the priest(B) will not cease, nor will counsel from the wise,(C) nor the word from the prophets.(D) So come, let’s attack him with our tongues(E) and pay no attention to anything he says.”

19 Listen to me, Lord;
    hear what my accusers(F) are saying!
20 Should good be repaid with evil?(G)
    Yet they have dug a pit(H) for me.
Remember that I stood(I) before you
    and spoke in their behalf(J)
    to turn your wrath away from them.
