Jeremiah 18:20-22
New International Version
Jeremiah 18:20-22
New International Version
20 Should good be repaid with evil?(A)
Yet they have dug a pit(B) for me.
Remember that I stood(C) before you
and spoke in their behalf(D)
to turn your wrath away from them.
21 So give their children over to famine;(E)
hand them over to the power of the sword.(F)
Let their wives be made childless and widows;(G)
let their men be put to death,
their young men(H) slain by the sword in battle.
22 Let a cry(I) be heard from their houses
when you suddenly bring invaders against them,
for they have dug a pit(J) to capture me
and have hidden snares(K) for my feet.
Jeremiah 18:20-22
King James Version
Jeremiah 18:20-22
King James Version
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
