Jeremiah 18:20

Jeremiah's Imprecatory Prayer

¹⁹ Attend to me, O Jehovah, and hear for the voice of mine adversary. ²⁰ Shall evil be requited for good? for they dug a pit for my soul. Remember my standing before thee to speak good for them, to turn back thy wrath from them. ²¹ For this, give their sons to the famine, and pour them out upon the hands of the sword; and their wives shall be bereaved of offspring, and be widows; and their men shall be slain by death; their young men struck of the sword in battle.
