Jeremiah 18:19-21
Lexham English Bible
19 Listen attentively to me, O Yahweh,
and listen to the voice of my opponents.
20 Should good be repaid in place of evil?
Yet they have dug a pit for me.
Remember my standing before you[a] to speak good for them,
to avert your wrath from them.
21 Therefore[b] give their children to the famine,
and hand them over to the power[c] of the sword,
and let their wives be bereaved and widows,
and let their men be killed by death,
their young men struck dead
by the sword in the battle.
