Jeremiah 18:21-23
International Standard Version
Jeremiah 18:21-23
International Standard Version
21 Therefore, make their children undergo famine,
and deliver them over to death in time of war.[a]
May their women be childless widows!
May their men be slaughtered![b]
May their young men be slain
by the sword in battle!
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses because you
have brought a raiding party against them suddenly.
For they have dug a pit to capture me
and have set[c] traps for my feet.
23 But you, Lord, know all their plots to kill me.
Don’t forgive their iniquity,
and don’t erase their sin from your sight.
Let them stumble before you.
When it’s time for you to be angry, act against them!
