Jeremiah 18:20

Jeremiah's Imprecatory Prayer

¹⁹ Consider me, O LORD, and hear the voice of mine enemies! ²⁰ Do they not recompense evil for good, when they dig a pit for my soul? Remember, how that I stood before thee, to speak for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them. ²¹ Therefore let their children die of hunger, and let them be oppressed with the sword. Let their wives be robbed of their children, and become widows: let their husbands be slain, let their young men be killed with the sword in the field.
