10 Who can I speak to?
    Who can I warn?
    Who will listen to me?
The people of Israel have closed their ears,
    so they cannot hear my warnings.
They don’t like the Lord’s teachings.
    They don’t want to hear his message.
11 But I am full of the Lord’s anger,
    and I am tired of holding it in!
“Pour out my anger on the children playing in the streets
    and on the young soldiers gathered there as well.
A man and his wife will both be captured
    as well as all the old people.
12 Their houses will be given to others.
    Their fields and their wives will be given to other people.
I will raise my hand and punish the people of Judah.”
    This message is from the Lord.

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.
