Jeremiah 6:10-12

International Children’s Bible

¹⁰ To whom can I speak? Whom can I warn?
    Who will listen to me?
The people of Israel have closed ears!
    So they cannot hear my warnings.
They don’t like the word of the Lord.
    They don’t want to listen to it!
¹¹ But I am full of the anger of the Lord.
    I am tired of holding it in.

“Pour out the Lord’s anger on the children who play in the street.
    Pour it out on the young men gathered together.
A husband and his wife will both be caught in his anger.
    The very old people will be caught in it.
¹² Their houses will be turned over to others.
    Their fields and wives will be given away.
I will raise my hand
    and punish the people of Judah,” says the Lord.
