Jeremiah 18:19-21
Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 Pay attention to me, Lord.
Hear what my opponents are saying!(A)
20 Should good be repaid with evil?
Yet they have dug a pit for me.(B)
Remember how I stood before You
to speak good on their behalf,
to turn Your anger from them.
21 Therefore, hand their children over to famine,(C)
and pour the sword’s power on them.
Let their wives become childless and widowed,
their husbands slain by deadly disease,[a]
their young men struck down by the sword in battle.
