Jeremiah Persecuted

18 Then they said, a“Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah; bfor the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come and let us attack him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.” 
19 Give heed to me, O Lord,
And listen to the voice of those who contend with me!
20 aShall evil be repaid for good?
For they have bdug a pit for my life.
Remember that I cstood before You
To speak good1 for them,
To turn away Your wrath from them. 
21 Therefore adeliver up their children to the famine,
And pour out their blood
By the force of the sword;
Let their wives become widows
And bbereaved of their children.
Let their men be put to death,
Their young men be slain
By the sword in battle.
