Jeremiah 18:23
New Living Translation
23 Lord, you know all about their murderous plots against me.
Don’t forgive their crimes and blot out their sins.
Let them die before you.
Deal with them in your anger.
Psalm 69:22-28
New Living Translation
22 Let the bountiful table set before them become a snare
and their prosperity become a trap.[a]
23 Let their eyes go blind so they cannot see,
and make their bodies shake continually.[b]
24 Pour out your fury on them;
consume them with your burning anger.
25 Let their homes become desolate
and their tents be deserted.
26 To the one you have punished, they add insult to injury;
they add to the pain of those you have hurt.
27 Pile their sins up high,
and don’t let them go free.
28 Erase their names from the Book of Life;
don’t let them be counted among the righteous.
