Jeremiah 18:19-21
Modern English Version
19 Give heed to me, O Lord,
and listen to the voice of those who contend with me.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good?
For they have dug a pit for my soul.
Remember that I stood before You
to speak good for them,
and to turn away Your wrath from them.
21 Therefore, deliver up their children to the famine
and pour out their blood by the power of the sword;
and let their wives be bereaved of their children and become widows
and let their men be put to death;
let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
Jeremiah 18:19-21
New International Version
19 Listen to me, Lord;
hear what my accusers(A) are saying!
20 Should good be repaid with evil?(B)
Yet they have dug a pit(C) for me.
Remember that I stood(D) before you
and spoke in their behalf(E)
to turn your wrath away from them.
21 So give their children over to famine;(F)
hand them over to the power of the sword.(G)
Let their wives be made childless and widows;(H)
let their men be put to death,
their young men(I) slain by the sword in battle.
