17. For the LORD of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
18. And the LORD has given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then you showed me their doings.
19. But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised plots against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
20. But, O LORD of hosts, who judges righteously, who tests the mind and the heart, let me see your vengeance on them: for unto you have I revealed my cause.
21. Therefore thus says the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek your life, saying,
22. Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts,
23. And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their judgment.
