They might say,“ Come along with us. Let’s hide and wait to kill someone who hasn’t done anything wrong. Let’s catch some harmless person in our trap.

“ Jeremiah, some of my people are evil. They hide and wait just as people hide to catch birds. They set traps for people.

Those who hide and wait will spill their own blood. They will be caught in their own trap.

The words of those who are evil hide and wait to spill people’s blood. But the speech of those who are honest saves them from traps like that.

They said,“ Come on. Let’s make plans against Jeremiah. We’ll still have priests to teach us the law. We’ll always have wise people to give us advice. We’ll have prophets to bring us messages from the Lord. So come on. Let’s speak out against Jeremiah. We shouldn’t pay any attention to what he says.”Lord, please listen to me! Hear what my enemies are saying about me!Should the good things I’ve done be paid back with evil? But my enemies have dug a pit for me. Remember that I stood in front of you and spoke up for them. I tried to turn your anger away from them.

Faithful people have disappeared from the land. Those who are honest are gone. Everyone hides and waits to spill the blood of others. They use nets to try and trap one another.

I had been like a gentle lamb led off to be killed. I didn’t realize they had made plans against me. They had said,“ Let’s destroy the tree and its fruit. Let’s take away his life. Then his name won’t be remembered anymore.”

Now then, you and the Sanhedrin must make an appeal to the commanding officer. Ask him to bring Paul to you. Pretend you want more facts about his case. We are ready to kill him before he gets here.”

They set a trap for me without any reason. Without any reason they dug a pit to catch me.

Then the chief priests met with the elders of the people. They met in the palace of Caiaphas, the high priest.They made plans to arrest Jesus secretly. They wanted to kill him.

Some people have teeth like swords. The teeth in their jaws are as sharp as knives. They are ready to eat up the poor people of the earth. They are ready to eat up those who are the most needy.

They help one another make evil plans. They talk about hiding their traps. They say,“ Who can see what we are doing?”They make plans to do what is evil. They say,“ We have thought up a perfect plan!” The hearts and minds of people are so clever!

They are like a hungry lion, waiting to attack. They are like a powerful lion, hiding in the bushes.

They are always in a hurry to sin. They are quick to spill someone’s blood.

They get together and hide. They watch my steps. They hope to kill me.

They tried very hard to get Festus to have Paul taken to Jerusalem. They asked for this as a favor. They were planning to hide and attack Paul along the way. They wanted to kill him.

Sinful people hide and wait near the villages. From their hiding places they murder people who aren’t guilty. They watch in secret for those they want to attack.They hide and wait like a lion in the bushes. From their hiding places they wait to catch those who are helpless. They catch them and drag them off in their nets.Those they have attacked are beaten up. They fall to the ground. They fall because their attackers are too strong for them.

This has happened so that what is written in their Law would come true. It says,‘ They hated me without any reason.’( Psalms 35:19; 69:4)
