20 Good should not be paid back with evil,
    but they have dug a pit in order to kill me.
Remember that I stood before you
    and asked you to do good things for these people
    and to turn your anger away from them.
21 So now, let their children starve,
    and let their enemies kill them with swords.
Let their wives lose their children and husbands.
    Let the men from Judah be put to death
    and the young men be killed with swords in battle.
22 Let them cry out in their houses
    when you bring an enemy against them suddenly.
Let all this happen, because my enemies have dug
    a pit to capture me and have hidden traps for my feet.
