Jeremiah 6:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ To whom can I speak? Whom can I warn?
    Who will listen to me?
·The people of Israel have closed ears [^LYour ears have a foreskin; ^Care uncircumcised; a metaphor for not listening to God],
    so they cannot ·hear my warnings [^Lpay attention].
·They don’t like the word of the Lord [^LThe word of the Lord is a reproach to them];
    they ·don’t want to listen to it [^Ltake no pleasure in it]!
¹¹ But I am full of the anger of the Lord,
    and I am ·tired [weary] of holding it in.

“Pour ·out my anger [^Lit out] on the children who play in the street
    and on the young men gathered together.
A husband and his wife will both be caught in his anger,
    as will the very old and ·aged [^Lfull of years].
¹² Their houses will be turned over to others,
    along with their fields and wives,
because I will ·raise [^Lstretch out] my hand
    ·and punish [^Lagainst] the people of Judah,” says the Lord.
