He gives ¹  food to his faithful followers; ²  he always remembers his covenant. ³ 

Of coral and jasper no mention will be made; the price ¹  of wisdom is more than pearls. ² 

May he take notice ¹  of your offerings; may he accept ²  your burnt sacrifice! (Selah)

let them ¹  drink and forget ²  their poverty, and remember their misery no more.

The womb ¹  forgets him, the worm feasts on him, no longer will he be remembered. Like a tree, wickedness will be broken down.

They say, “Come on, let’s annihilate them so they are no longer a nation! ¹  Then the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”

May his ancestors’ ¹  sins be remembered by the Lord! May his mother’s sin not be forgotten! ²

She replied, “In that case, ¹  let the king invoke the name of ²  the Lord your God so that the avenger of blood may not kill! Then they will not destroy my son!” He replied, “As surely as the Lord lives, not a single hair of your son’s head ³  will fall to the ground.”

Before this I had been like a docile lamb ready to be led to the slaughter. I did not know they were making plans to kill me. ¹  I did not know they were saying, ²  “Let’s destroy the tree along with its fruit! ³  Let’s remove Jeremiah ⁴  from the world of the living so people will not even be reminded of him any more.” ⁵ 

Then the Lord spoke about these people. ¹  “They truly ²  love to go astray. They cannot keep from running away from me. ³  So I am not pleased with them. I will now call to mind ⁴  the wrongs they have done ⁵  and punish them for their sins.”
