Jeremiah 18:19-23

Jeremiah 18:19-23

[19] Give heed  to me, O LORD,  and hearken  to the voice  of them that contend  [20] Shall evil  be recompensed  for good?  for they have digged  a pit  for my soul.  Remember  that I stood  before  thee to speak  good  for them, and to turn away  thy wrath  [21] Therefore deliver up  their children  to the famine,  and pour out  their blood by the force  of the sword;  and let their wives  be bereaved  of their children, and be widows;  be put  to death;  let their young men  be slain  by the sword  in battle.  [22] Let a cry  be heard  from their houses,  when thou shalt bring  a troop  suddenly  upon them: for they have digged  to take  me, and hid  snares  for my feet.  [23] Yet, LORD,  thou knowest  all their counsel  against me to slay  me: forgive  not their iniquity,  neither blot out  their sin  from thy sight,  but let them be overthrown  before  thee; deal  thus with them in the time  of thine anger.
