Habitation

Then they said, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. Denounce, and we will denounce him, [say] all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.

Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God's law, I will also forget your children.

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

Wake up righteously, and don't sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
