Jeremiah 11:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ “For the LORD of Hosts, Who planted you, has pronounced a plague against you, for the wickedness of the House of Israel, and of the House of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger in offering incense to Baal.”

¹⁸ And the LORD has taught me, and I know it. Then You showed me their practices.

¹⁹ But I was like a lamb, a bullock that is brought to the slaughter. And I did not know that they had devised this against me, saying, “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and cut him out of the land of the living, so that his name may be remembered no more.”
