Jeremiah 18:18-23

18Then they saidH559, “ComeH1980 and let us 1deviseH2803 plansH4284 againstH5921 JeremiahH3414. SurelyH3588 the 2lawH8451 is not going to be lostH6 to the priestH3548, norH3808 3counselH6098 to the sageH2450, norH3808 the divine 4wordH1697 to the prophetH5030! ComeH1980 on and let us 5strikeH5221 at him with our tongueH3956, and let us 6giveH7181 noH408 heedH7181 to anyH3605 of his wordsH1697.”

19Do giveH7181 heedH7181 to me, O LordH3068, And listenH8085 to 7whatH6963 my opponentsH3401 are sayingH6963!208Should goodH2899 be repaidH7999 with evilH7463? For they have 9dugH3738 a pitH7745 for 10me. RememberH2142 how I 11stoodH5975 beforeH6440 You To speakH1696 goodH2899 on their behalfH5921, So as to turnH7725 awayH7725 Your wrathH2534 from them.21ThereforeH3651, 12giveH5414 their childrenH1121 over to famineH7458 And deliverH5064 them up to the 13powerH3027 of the swordH2719; And let their wivesH802 becomeH1961 14childlessH7909 and 15widowedH490. Let their menH376 also be smittenH2026 to deathH4194, Their 16youngH970 menH970 struckH5221 downH5221 by the swordH2719 in battleH4421.22May an 17outcryH2201 be heardH8085 from their housesH1004, WhenH3588 You suddenlyH6597 bringH935 raidersH1416 upon them; 18For they have dugH3738 a pitH7745 to captureH3920 me And 19hiddenH2934 snaresH6341 for my feetH7272.23Yet You, O LordH3068, knowH3045 AllH3605 their 20deadlyH4194 designsH6098 againstH5921 me; 21Do not 22forgiveH3722 their iniquityH5771 Or blotH4229 out their sinH2403 from Your sightH6440. But may they be 2324overthrownH3782 beforeH6440 You; DealH6213 with them in the 25timeH6256 of Your angerH639!
