• Jeremiah 11:19, 20
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 19 I was like a docile lamb being brought to the slaughter.

      I did not know that they were scheming against me:+

      “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,

      And let us cut him off from the land of the living,

      So that his name may be remembered no more.”

      20 But Jehovah of armies judges with righteousness;

      He examines the innermost thoughts* and the heart.+

      Let me see your vengeance on them,

      For to you I have committed my legal case.
