Jeremiah 18:19-21
New King James Version
Jeremiah 18:19-21
New King James Version
19 Give heed to me, O Lord,
And listen to the voice of those who contend with me!
20 (A)Shall evil be repaid for good?
For they have (B)dug a pit for my life.
Remember that I (C)stood before You
To speak good [a]for them,
To turn away Your wrath from them.
21 Therefore (D)deliver up their children to the famine,
And pour out their blood
By the force of the sword;
Let their wives become widows
And (E)bereaved of their children.
Let their men be put to death,
Their young men be slain
By the sword in battle.
