Jeremiah 15:11-13

New International Reader's Version

“Jeremiah, I will keep you safe for a good purpose.
    I will make your enemies ask you to pray for them.
They will make their appeal to you
    when they are in great trouble.

¹² “People of Judah, the armies of Babylon
    will come from the north.
They are as strong as iron and bronze.
    Can anyone break their power?
¹³ I will give away your wealth and your treasures.
    Your enemies will carry off everything.
    And they will not pay anything for it.
That will happen because you have sinned so much.
    You have done it throughout your country.
