Jeremiah 18:21-23

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²¹ Therefore, hand their children over to famine,^(A)
and pour the sword’s power on them.
Let their wives become childless and widowed,
their husbands slain by deadly disease,^[a]
their young men struck down by the sword in battle.
²² Let a cry be heard from their houses
when You suddenly bring raiders against them,
for they have dug a pit to capture me
and have hidden snares for my feet.^(B)
23 But You, Lord, know
all their deadly plots against me.
Do not wipe out their guilt;^(C)
do not blot out their sin before You.
Let them be forced to stumble before You;
deal with them in the time of Your anger.
