Jeremiah 6:10-12

The Voice

¹⁰ To whom should I speak and give this warning?
    Who will listen to what I say?
Their ears are closed; they cannot hear. They’re deaf to anything about God.
    The Eternal’s word is offensive to them. They take no delight in it.
¹¹ But I am welling up with His anger.
    I’m too tired to try to hold it in any longer.

Eternal One: Pour it out on children playing in the streets,
        on young men meeting together.
    Husbands and wives, old and even the very old—
        let each of them know they will be taken.
¹²     Their homes will be seized and lived in by others;
        so, too, will their fields and wives be taken from them and given to others when I reach out against the people of this land.
