Jeremiah:18:19-23

*
Give heed to me ,
O LORD ,
and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me .
*
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 from them .
*
Therefore deliver up their children to the famine ra #
ab #,
and pour out their blood by the force of the sword ;
and let their wives be bereaved of their children ,
and be widows ;
and let their men be put to death ;
let their young men be slain by the sword in battle .
*
Let a cry be heard from their houses ,
when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them :
for they have digged a pit to take me ,
and hid snares for my feet .
*
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 .
