Jeremiah 6:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ To whom shall I speak and give warning,
    that they may hear?
Behold, their ears are closed,^[a]
    they cannot listen;
behold, the word of the Lord is to them an object of scorn,
    they take no pleasure in it.
¹¹ Therefore I am full of the wrath of the Lord;
    I am weary of holding it in.
“Pour it out upon the children in the street,
    and upon the gatherings of young men, also;
both husband and wife shall be taken,
    the old folk and the very aged.
¹² Their houses shall be turned over to others,
    their fields and wives together;
for I will stretch out my hand
    against the inhabitants of the land,”
                says the Lord.
