Jeremiah 18:19-21

New King James Version

¹⁹ Give heed to me, O Lord,
And listen to the voice of those who contend with me!
^20 (A)Shall evil be repaid for good?
For they have ^(B)dug a pit for my life.
Remember that I ^(C)stood before You
To speak good ^[a]for them,
To turn away Your wrath from them.
²¹ Therefore ^(D)deliver up their children to the famine,
And pour out their blood
By the force of the sword;
Let their wives become widows
And ^(E)bereaved of their children.
Let their men be put to death,
Their young men be slain
By the sword in battle.
