Jeremiah 18:18-23

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.
21 So give their children over to famine;(K)
    hand them over to the power of the sword.(L)
Let their wives be made childless and widows;(M)
    let their men be put to death,
    their young men(N) slain by the sword in battle.
22 Let a cry(O) be heard from their houses
    when you suddenly bring invaders against them,
for they have dug a pit(P) to capture me
    and have hidden snares(Q) for my feet.
23 But you, Lord, know
    all their plots to kill(R) me.
Do not forgive(S) their crimes
    or blot out their sins from your sight.
Let them be overthrown before you;
    deal with them in the time of your anger.(T)

The Apostles Persecuted

17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party(A) of the Sadducees,(B) were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.(C) 19 But during the night an angel(D) of the Lord opened the doors of the jail(E) and brought them out.(F) 20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.”(G)

21 At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people.

When the high priest and his associates(H) arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin(I)—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles. 22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there.(J) So they went back and reported, 23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” 24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests(K) were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to.

25 Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.” 26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people(L) would stone them.
