Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,
the people in whose heart is My instruction:
do not fear disgrace by men,

so that you lied and didn’t remember Me
or take it to heart?
Have I not kept silent for such a long time

and you do not fear Me?

A good name is to be chosen over great wealth;
favor is better than silver and gold.

A good name is better than fine perfume,
and the day of one’s death than the day of one’s birth.

Report, that

Then certain ones said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah, for instruction will never be lost from the priest, or counsel from the wise, or an oracle from the prophet. Come, let’s denounce him and pay no attention to all his words.”

For I have heard the gossip of many people,
“Terror is on every side!

Report him; let’s report him!”
Everyone I trusted watches for my fall.

so that we might prevail against him
and take our vengeance on him.”

Your message is to be sound beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.
