Jeremiah 6:9-11

International Children’s Bible

“Gather the few people of Israel who are left alive.
    Gather them as you would the last grapes on a grapevine.
Check each vine again,
    like someone who gathers grapes.”

¹⁰ To whom can I speak? Whom can I warn?
    Who will listen to me?
The people of Israel have closed ears!
    So they cannot hear my warnings.
They don’t like the word of the Lord.
    They don’t want to listen to it!
¹¹ But I am full of the anger of the Lord.
    I am tired of holding it in.

“Pour out the Lord’s anger on the children who play in the street.
    Pour it out on the young men gathered together.
A husband and his wife will both be caught in his anger.
    The very old people will be caught in it.
