Context Readings

A Warning For The People Of Anathoth

19 I was like an unquestioning lamb brought to the slaughter. I did not know that they were plotting against me. They were saying: Let us destroy the tree with its fruit. Let us cut Jeremiah off from this world of the living so that we will not be reminded of him anymore. 20 But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously,
Who tries the feelings and the heart,
Let me see Your vengeance on them,
For to You have I committed my cause.
21 This is what Jehovah says: The people of Anathoth want to kill you. They say: Do not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, or we will kill you.
