1:18 but these men lie in wait for their own blood,
they ambush their own lives!
10:8 He waits in ambush near the villages;
in hidden places he kills the innocent.
His eyes look for some unfortunate victim.
10:9 He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket;
he lies in ambush, waiting to catch
he catches the oppressed
10:10 His victims are crushed and beaten down;
they are trapped in his sturdy nets.
17:12 He
like a young lion crouching
35:7 I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me
and dug a pit to trap me.
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
so people will not even be reminded of him any more.”
18:18 Then some people
18:19 Then I said,
“Lord, pay attention to me.
Listen to what my enemies are saying.
18:20 Should good be paid back with evil?
Yet they are virtually digging a pit to kill me.
Just remember how I stood before you
pleading on their behalf
to keep you from venting your anger on them.
