Jeremiah 18:20

Jeremiah's Imprecatory Prayer

¹⁹ Do give heed to me, O Lord,
And listen to what my opponents are saying!
²⁰ Should good be repaid with evil?
For they have dug a pit for me.
Remember how I stood before You
To speak good on their behalf,
So as to turn away Your wrath from them.
²¹ Therefore, give their children over to famine
And deliver them up to the power of the sword;
And let their wives become childless and widowed.
Let their men also be smitten to death,
Their young men struck down by the sword in battle.
