Jeremiah 11:21-23

New International Reader's Version

²¹ The Lord says, “Jeremiah, here is what I am telling you about the people of Anathoth. They say they’re going to kill you. They are saying, ‘Don’t prophesy in the Lord’s name. If you do, we will kill you with our own hands.’ ” ²² So the Lord who rules over all says, “I will punish them. Their young men will be killed by swords. Their sons and daughters will die of hunger. ²³ Only a few people will be left alive. I will judge the people of Anathoth. I will destroy them when the time comes to punish them.”
