Jeremiah 11:19 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

19I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; I did not realize that they had plotted against me, saying,

“Let us destroy the tree and its fruit;

let us cut him off from the land of the living,

that his name be remembered no more.”

19But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter;

And I did not know that they had devised plots against me, saying,

“Let’s destroy the tree with its 11:19 Lit breadfruit,

And let’s cut him off from the land of the living,

So that his name will no longer be remembered.”

19But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter;

And I did not know 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 be remembered no more.”

19But I was like a gentle and tame lamb brought to the slaughter;

And I did not know that they had devised plots and schemes against me, saying,

“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit;

Let us cut him off from the land of the living,

That his name be remembered no longer.”

19For I was like a gentle lamb led to slaughter;

I did not know that they had plotted against me:

“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit;

let us cut him off from the land of the living,

that his name may be remembered no more.”

19I 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.”
