Jeremiah 18:20

Jeremiah's Imprecatory Prayer

¹⁹ Jehovah, give heed to me, and listen to the voice of those that contend with me. ²⁰ Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them. ²¹ Therefore give up their children to the famine, and deliver them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of children and be widows; and let their men be swept off by death, their young men be smitten by the sword in battle.
