18And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings.Select Jeremiah 11:18

19But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.Select Jeremiah 11:19

20But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.Select Jeremiah 11:20
