Jeremiah 18:21-23

Easy-to-Read Version

²¹ So now make their children starve to death!
    Let their enemies kill them with swords.
Let their wives lose their children and husbands.
    Let their men die from disease,
    and let their young men be killed in battle.
²² Let them cry out in their houses,
    when you suddenly bring an enemy against them.
Let it happen because they prepared a death trap for me.
    They hid traps for me to step in.
²³ Lord, you know about their plans to kill me.
    So don’t forgive their crimes or erase their sins.
Make them fall down in defeat.
    Punish them in your anger!
