Jeremiah 11:21-23

International Children’s Bible

²¹ So the Lord speaks about the men from Anathoth who were planning to kill Jeremiah. Those men say, “Don’t prophesy in the name of the Lord. If you do, we will kill you!” ²² So this is what the Lord of heaven’s armies says: “I will soon punish the men from Anathoth. Their young men will die in war. Their sons and daughters will die from hunger. ²³ No one from the city of Anathoth will be left alive. I will cause a disaster to happen to them that year.”
