Jeremiah 18:19-21
New American Standard Bible
19 Give Your attention to me, Lord,
And listen to [a]what my opponents are saying!
20 (A)Should good be repaid with evil?
For they have (B)dug a pit for [b]me.
Remember how I (C)stood before You
To speak good in their behalf,
So as to turn Your wrath away from them.
21 Therefore, (D)give their children over to famine
And turn them over to the [c]power of the sword;
And let their wives become (E)childless and (F)widowed.
Let their men also be slaughtered to death,
Their (G)young men struck and killed by the sword in battle.
