Jeremiah 6:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

‘I will let the enemy take all the people from Israel,
    like a farmer who picks all the grapes from his vine.
So check the vines carefully,
    to see if there are some grapes that you can save.’

‘If I speak to people and I warn them,
    nobody will listen to me.
They have shut their ears so that they cannot hear.
They hate the Lord's message.
    They do not want to hear it.
¹¹ I am as angry with them as you are, Lord.
    I can no longer control my anger.’

‘Tell everyone how angry you are!
    Tell the children who play in the streets,
    Tell the young men who meet together.
Include all the men and their wives,
    as well as the old people, and those who are near to death.
