Jeremiah 18:20

Jeremiah's Imprecatory Prayer

¹⁹ Give attention, O Jehovah, unto me, And hearken to the voice of those contending with me. ²⁰ Is evil recompensed instead of good, That they have dug a pit for my soul? Remember my standing before Thee to speak good of them, To turn back Thy wrath from them. ²¹ Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men smitten by sword in battle,
