Jeremiah 18:20

Jeremiah's Imprecatory Prayer

¹⁹ Give thou ear O Yahweh unto me, - And hearken unto the voice of mine accusers. ²⁰ Shall, evil, be recompensed for good? For they have digged a pit for my life, - Remember how I stood before thee To speak in their behalf what was good! To turn back thine indignation from them. ²¹ Therefore, give thou up their sons to the famine And deliver them into the hands of the sword, And let their, wives, become, childless and widows, And let, their men, be slain by death, Their young men be smitten by the sword in battle.
