Jeremiah 18:18-23

New International Version

¹⁹ Listen to me, Lord;
    hear what my accusers^(F) are saying!
²⁰ Should good be repaid with evil?^(G)
    Yet they have dug a pit^(H) for me.
Remember that I stood^(I) before you
    and spoke in their behalf^(J)
    to turn your wrath away from them.
²¹ So give their children over to famine;^(K)
    hand them over to the power of the sword.^(L)
Let their wives be made childless and widows;^(M)
    let their men be put to death,
    their young men^(N) slain by the sword in battle.
²² Let a cry^(O) be heard from their houses
    when you suddenly bring invaders against them,
for they have dug a pit^(P) to capture me
    and have hidden snares^(Q) for my feet.
²³ But you, Lord, know
    all their plots to kill^(R) me.
Do not forgive^(S) their crimes
    or blot out their sins from your sight.
Let them be overthrown before you;
    deal with them in the time of your anger.^(T)
