Jeremiah 18:20-22

New King James Version

^20 (A)Shall evil be repaid for good?
For they have ^(B)dug a pit for my life.
Remember that I ^(C)stood before You
To speak good ^[a]for them,
To turn away Your wrath from them.
²¹ Therefore ^(D)deliver up their children to the famine,
And pour out their blood
By the force of the sword;
Let their wives become widows
And ^(E)bereaved of their children.
Let their men be put to death,
Their young men be slain
By the sword in battle.
²² Let a cry be heard from their houses,
When You bring a troop suddenly upon them;
For they have dug a pit to take me,
And hidden snares for my feet.
