Jeremiah 18:19-23
Legacy Standard Bible
19 Do give heed to me, O Yahweh,
And listen to the voice of those who contend against me!
20 (A)Should good be repaid with evil?
For they have (B)dug a pit for [a]me.
Remember how I (C)stood before You
To speak good on their behalf,
So as to turn away Your wrath from them.
21 Therefore, (D)give their children over to famine
And deliver them up to the [b]power of the sword;
And let their wives become (E)childless and (F)widowed.
Let their men also be [c]smitten to death,
Their (G)young men struck down by the sword in battle.
22 May an (H)outcry be heard from their houses,
When You suddenly bring raiders upon them;
(I)For they have dug a pit to capture me
And (J)hidden snares for my feet.
23 Yet You, O Yahweh, know
All their [d]deadly counsel against me;
(K)Do not atone for their iniquity
Or blot out their sin from before You.
But may they be [e](L)overthrown before You;
Deal with them in the (M)time of Your anger!

Jeremiah 18:19-23
New International Version
19 Listen to me, Lord;
hear what my accusers(A) are saying!
20 Should good be repaid with evil?(B)
Yet they have dug a pit(C) for me.
Remember that I stood(D) before you
and spoke in their behalf(E)
to turn your wrath away from them.
21 So give their children over to famine;(F)
hand them over to the power of the sword.(G)
Let their wives be made childless and widows;(H)
let their men be put to death,
their young men(I) slain by the sword in battle.
22 Let a cry(J) be heard from their houses
when you suddenly bring invaders against them,
for they have dug a pit(K) to capture me
and have hidden snares(L) for my feet.
23 But you, Lord, know
all their plots to kill(M) me.
Do not forgive(N) their crimes
or blot out their sins from your sight.
Let them be overthrown before you;
deal with them in the time of your anger.(O)
