Jeremiah 11:18-19

18The Lord gave me knowledge, that I might have understanding. Then he showed me what the people were doing.

19Before 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 from the world of the living so people will not even be reminded of him any more.”
