Jeremiah 18:21-23
Lexham English Bible
21 Therefore[a] give their children to the famine,
and hand them over to the power[b] of the sword,
and let their wives be bereaved and widows,
and let their men be killed by death,
their young men struck dead
by the sword in the battle.
22 Let a cry for help be heard from their houses
when you suddenly bring upon them the raiding band,
for they have dug a pit to catch me,
and they have fixed secretly a trap for my feet.
23 But you, O Yahweh, you know
all their plans of assassination against me.[c]
You must not make atonement for their iniquity,
and you must not cause their sin to be blotted out from before you.[d]
But let them be overthrown before you.[e]
Deal with them in the time of your anger.
