10 To whom will I speak and give a warning
    so they’ll listen?
Look, their ears are closed,[a]
    and they cannot hear.
Look, this message from the Lord is contemptible to them;
    they don’t delight in it.
11 I’m full of the wrath of the Lord,
    and I’m tired of holding it back.
Pour it out on the children in the street
    and on the groups of young men gathered together.
Indeed, both husband and wife will be caught in it,
    the old and the very old.
12 Their houses will be turned over to others—
    their fields and wives together—
when I stretch out my hand against
    those who live in the land,”
        declares the Lord.
