Jeremiah 11:18-23

The Lord informed me, so I knew. Then you helped me to see their deeds, for I was like a docile   lamb led to slaughter.  I didn’t know that they had devised plots against me: “Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit;  let’s cut him off from the land of the living  so that his name will no longer be remembered.” But, Lord of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests  heart  and mind,  let me see your vengeance on them, for I have presented my case to you.  Therefore, here is what the Lord says concerning the people of Anathoth  who intend to take your life. They warn, “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord,  or you will certainly die at our hand.” Therefore, this is what the Lord of Armies says: “I am about to punish them. The young men will die by the sword; their sons and daughters will die by famine.  They will have no remnant, for I will bring disaster on the people of Anathoth  in the year of their punishment.”
