Jeremiah 6:10-12
EasyEnglish Bible
10 I replied,
‘If I speak to people and I warn them,
nobody will listen to me.
They have shut their ears so that they cannot hear.
They hate the Lord's message.
They do not want to hear it.
11 I am as angry with them as you are, Lord.
I can no longer control my anger.’
The Lord replied,
‘Tell everyone how angry you are!
Tell the children who play in the streets,
Tell the young men who meet together.
Include all the men and their wives,
as well as the old people, and those who are near to death.
12 I will give their houses to other people to live in.
Other people will take their fields and their wives.
Yes, I will punish the people who live in this land.’
That is what the Lord says.

Jeremiah 6:10-12
New International Version
10 To whom can I speak and give warning?
Who will listen(A) to me?
Their ears are closed[a](B)
so they cannot hear.(C)
The word(D) of the Lord is offensive to them;
they find no pleasure in it.
11 But I am full of the wrath(E) of the Lord,
and I cannot hold it in.(F)
“Pour it out on the children in the street
and on the young men(G) gathered together;
both husband and wife will be caught in it,
and the old, those weighed down with years.(H)
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(I)
together with their fields and their wives,(J)
when I stretch out my hand(K)
against those who live in the land,”
declares the Lord.
