Jeremiah 18:19-21
International Standard Version
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!
