Jeremiah 11:18-19

18The Lord showed me what the people were doing. He helped me to understood what was really happening.

19Before that, I did not know about their plans to kill me. I was like a lamb that men were taking away to kill it. I did not know that they were saying, ‘We should cut down this tree and destroy its fruit! Jeremiah must not continue to live in this world. Then people will forget all about him.’
