Jeremiah 18:20-22

New International Version

²⁰Should 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.
²¹So 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.
²²Let 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.

King James Version

²⁰Shall 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.

²¹Therefore 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.

²²Let 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.
