Jeremiah’s Enemies Make Evil Plans Against Him

18 The Lord told me about the evil plans of my enemies. That’s how I knew about them. He showed me what they were doing. 19 I had been like a gentle lamb led off to be killed. I didn’t realize they had made plans against me. They had said,

“Let’s destroy the tree and its fruit.
    Let’s take away his life.
