Jeremiah 6:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ To whom should I speak and issue warning
    so that they may hear?
See, their ears are closed,
    and so they cannot pay heed
They regard the word of the Lord as offensive
    and they take no pleasure in it.
¹¹ However, I am filled with the wrath of the Lord,
    and I am weary of holding it in.
I will pour it out on the children in the street
    as well as on the gatherings of young men.
Both husband and wife will be taken,
    the elderly and those far advanced in years.
¹² Their houses will be turned over to others,
    together with their fields and their wives,
when I stretch out my hand
    against those who dwell in the land,
    says the Lord.
