Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.

The verse 23 is found in chapter 18 of Jeremiah. The people respond to the message by conspiring against Jeremiah and declaring that they will not abandon their own customs. The prophet contrasts this conduct with the unusualness of a nation abandoning its god. The final prayer is a severe lament over the persecution suffered by one who had interceded for them.

Und weil du, HERR, weißt alle ihre Anschläge wider mich, daß sie mich töten wollen, so vergib ihnen ihre Missetat nicht und laß ihre Sünde vor dir nicht ausgetilgt werden. Laß sie vor dir gestürzt werden und handle mit ihnen nach deinem Zorn.
Mas tú, oh Jehová, conoces todo su consejo contra mí para muerte; no perdones su maldad, ni borres su pecado de delante de tu rostro: y tropiecen delante de ti; haz así con ellos en el tiempo de tu furor.
Pero tú, Jehová, conoces todos sus planes para matarme. No perdones su culpa ni borres de tu presencia su pecado. Que sean derribados delante de ti; actúa contra ellos en el tiempo de tu ira.
Et toi, Eternel, tu connais tous leurs complots pour me faire mourir; Ne pardonne pas leur iniquité, N'efface pas leur péché de devant toi! Qu'ils soient renversés en ta présence! Agis contre eux au temps de ta colère!
Ma tu, o Signore, conosci tutto il lor consiglio contro a me, che è di farmi morire; non fare il purgamento della loro iniquità, e non iscancellare il lor peccato dal tuo cospetto; anzi sieno traboccati davanti a te; opera contro a loro nel tempo della tua ira
Mas tu, ó SENHOR, sabes todo o seu conselho contra mim para matar-me; não perdoes a sua maldade, nem apagues o seu pecado de diante da tua face; mas tropecem diante de ti; trata-os assim no tempo da tua ira.
耶和華啊,他們要殺我的那一切計謀, 你都知道。 求你不要赦免他們的罪孽, 也不要從你面前塗去他們的罪惡。 願他們在你面前跌倒, 願你在發怒的時候對付他們。
