Isaiah 49:7
7 Thus says the Lord,athe Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
bto one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
the servant of rulers:
c“Kings shall see and arise;
princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
Jeremiah 18:18
18Then they said, d“Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah, efor the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. fCome, let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.”Jeremiah 20:10
10 gFor I hear many whispering.hTerror is on every side!
“Denounce him! iLet us denounce him!”
say all my jclose friends,
kwatching for lmy fall.
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then mwe can overcome him
and take our revenge on him.”
