Jeremiah 18:19-21

International Standard Version

¹⁹ Lord, pay attention to me.
    Listen to the voice of my accusers!
²⁰ Should good be repaid with evil?
    Yet they have dug a pit to take my life.^[a]
Remember! I stood before you
    and spoke good on their behalf
        in order to turn your wrath away from them.
²¹ Therefore, make their children undergo famine,
    and deliver them over to death in time of war.^[b]
May their women be childless widows!
    May their men be slaughtered!^[c]
May their young men be slain
    by the sword in battle!
