Jeremiah 18:19-21
New International Reader's Version
19 Lord, please listen to me!
Hear what my enemies are saying about me!
20 Should the good things I’ve done be paid back with evil?
But my enemies have dug a pit for me.
Remember that I stood in front of you
and spoke up for them.
I tried to turn your anger away from them.
21 So let their children die of hunger.
Let my enemies be killed in war.
Let their wives lose their children and husbands.
Let their men be put to death.
Let their young men be killed 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.
