But I was like a gentle lamb

led to the slaughter.

I did not know it was against me

they devised schemes, 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 more.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“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.”

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

so that his name will no longer be remembered.”
