Text -- Jeremiah 11:17-23 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
11:17 For though I, the Lord who rules over all , planted you in the land, I now decree that disaster will come on you because the nations of Israel and Judah have done evil and have made me angry by offering sacrifices to the god Baal .”
A Plot Against Jeremiah is Revealed and He Complains of Injustice
11:18 The Lord gave me knowledge , that I might have understanding . Then he showed me what the people were doing .
11:19 Before this I had been like a docile lamb ready to be led to the slaughter . I did not know they were making plans to kill me. I did not know they were saying, “Let’s destroy the tree along with its fruit ! Let’s remove Jeremiah from the world of the living so people will not even be reminded of him any more .”
11:20 So I said to the Lord, “O Lord who rules over all , you are a just judge ! You examine people’s hearts and minds . I want to see you pay them back for what they have done because I trust you to vindicate my cause .”
11:21 Then the Lord told me about some men from Anathoth who were threatening to kill me . They had threatened , “Stop prophesying in the name of the Lord or we will kill you!”
11:22 So the Lord who rules over all said , “I will surely punish them! Their young men will be killed in battle . Their sons and daughters will die of starvation .
11:23 Not one of them will survive . I will bring disaster on those men from Anathoth who threatened you. A day of reckoning is coming for them.”
