Jeremiah’s Fourth Complaint

¹⁸ Then the people said, “Come, let’s make plans against Jeremiah. Surely the ·teaching of the law [instruction] by the priest will not ·be lost [perish]. We will still have the ·advice [counsel] from the wise teachers and the words of the prophets. So let’s ·ruin him by telling lies about him [bring charges against him; ^Lstrike him with the tongue]. We won’t pay attention to ·anything he says [^Lhis words].”
