10 To whom shall I speak, and to whom shall I say witnessing, that he hear? Lo! the ears of them be uncircumcised, and they be not able to hear; lo! the word of the Lord is made to them into despite, and they shall not receive it (lo! the word of the Lord is taken as a rebuke to them, and they shall not accept it).

11 Therefore I am full of the strong vengeance of the Lord, and I travailed suffering. Shed thou out vengeance on a little child withoutforth, and on the counsel(s) of young men together (Pour thou out vengeance upon a little child outside, and upon young men who make plans together); for a man with his wife shall be taken, and an eld man with him that is full of days.

12 And the houses of them, (with) the fields and wives together, shall go to other men; for I shall stretch forth mine hand on the dwellers of the land, saith 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.
