Jeremiah 11:21-23

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of An′athoth, who seek your life, and say, “Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”— ²² therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them; the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine; ²³ and none of them shall be left. For I will bring evil upon the men of An′athoth, the year of their punishment.”
