Jeremiah 18:18-20 Upon this they said, "Come let us settle on account with Jeremias. Because law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor a word from the prophet, Come and that we may smite him with the tongue, let us hear all his words."

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Upon this they said, "Come let us settle on account with Jeremias. Because law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor a word from the prophet, Come and that we may smite him with the tongue, let us hear all his words." ¹⁹ Hear me, Lord, and hearken to my justification. ²⁰ Shall evils be returned for good offices? Because they contrived designs against my life and concealed the punishment they intended for me. Remember how I stood before thee to intercede for them; to turn away thy wrath from them.
