Jeremiah 18:19-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 Give heed to me, O Lord,
and listen to what my adversaries say!
20 Is evil a recompense for good?
Yet they have dug a pit for my life.
Remember how I stood before you
to speak good for them,
to turn away your wrath from them.(A)
21 Therefore give their children over to famine;
hurl them out to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless and widowed.
May their men meet death by pestilence,
their youths be slain by the sword in battle.(B)
22 May a cry be heard from their houses
when you bring the marauder suddenly upon them!
For they have dug a pit to catch me
and laid snares for my feet.(C)
23 Yet you, O Lord, know
all their plotting to kill me.
Do not forgive their iniquity;
do not blot out their sin from your sight.
Let them be tripped up before you;
deal with them while you are angry.(D)
Jeremiah 15:15
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 O Lord, you know;
remember me and visit me,
and bring down retribution for me on my persecutors.
In your forbearance do not take me away;
know that on your account I suffer insult.(A)

5 So they reward me evil for good
and hatred for my love.(A)
6 They say,[a] “Appoint a wicked man against him;
let an accuser stand on his right.(B)
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty;
let his prayer be counted as sin.(C)
8 May his days be few;
may another seize his position.(D)
9 May his children be orphans
and his wife a widow.(E)
10 May his children wander about and beg;
may they be driven out of[b] the ruins they inhabit.
11 May the creditor seize all that he has;
may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil.(F)
12 May there be no one to do him a kindness
nor anyone to pity his orphaned children.(G)
13 May his posterity be cut off;
may his name be blotted out in the second generation.(H)
14 May the iniquity of his father[c] be remembered before the Lord,
and do not let the sin of his mother be blotted out.(I)
15 Let them be before the Lord continually,
and may his[d] memory be cut off from the earth.(J)
16 For he did not remember to show kindness
but pursued the poor and needy
and the brokenhearted to their death.(K)
17 He loved to curse; let curses come on him.
He did not like blessing; may it be far from him.(L)
18 He clothed himself with cursing as his coat;
may it soak into his body like water,
like oil into his bones.(M)
19 May it be like a garment that he wraps around himself,
like a belt that he wears every day.”
20 May that be the reward of my accusers from the Lord,
of those who speak evil against my life.(N)
