Jeremiah 18:21–23

21 Therefore, hand their children over to famine,t

and give them over to the power of the sword.

Let their wives become childless and widowed,

their husbands slain by deadly disease,D

their young men struck down by the sword in battle.

22 Let a cry be heard from their houses

when you suddenly bring raiders against them,

for they have dug a pit to capture me

and have hidden snares for my feet.u

23 But you, Lord, know

all their deadly plots against me.

Do not wipe out their iniquity;v

do not blot out their sin before you.

Let them be forced to stumble before you;

deal with them in the time of your anger.
