10 To whom shall I speak and give warning,
That they may hear?
Behold, their (A)ears are [a]closed
And they cannot listen.
Behold, (B)the word of the Lord has become for them a rebuke;
They take no delight in it.
11 But I am (C)full of the wrath of the Lord;
I am (D)weary of holding it in.
(E)Pour it out on the children in the street
And on the [b]gathering of young men together;
For both husband and wife shall be taken,
The old [c]and the very old.
12 Their (F)houses shall be turned over to others,
Their fields and their wives together;
For I will (G)stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the Lord.
