Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before you to speak good for them, and to turn away your wrath from them.
Read Chapter 18
George Leo Haydock

Remember This is spoken in the person of Christ, persecuted by the Jews, and prophetically denouncing the evils that should fall upon them in punishment of their crimes. (Challoner)
Jeremias had prayed earnestly for the people, chap. xiv. 17. (Haydock)
