Jeremiah 6:9-12
Expanded Bible
9 This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts] says:
“·Gather [L Glean] the ·few people of Israel who are left alive [L remnant of Israel],
as ·you would gather the last grapes on a grapevine [L a vine; C Israel is often compared to a vine; Gen. 49:11–12, 22; Ps. 80:9–10; Is. 5:1–2].
·Check each vine again [L Return your hand over it again],
like ·someone who gathers grapes.”
10 To whom can I speak? Whom can I warn?
Who will listen to me?
·The people of Israel have closed ears [L Your ears have a foreskin; C are uncircumcised; a metaphor for not listening to God],
so they cannot ·hear my warnings [L pay attention].
·They don’t like the word of the Lord [L The word of the Lord is a reproach to them];
they ·don’t want to listen to it [L take no pleasure in it]!
11 But I am full of the anger of the Lord,
and I am ·tired [weary] of holding it in.
“Pour ·out my anger [L it out] on the children who play in the street
and on the young men gathered together.
A husband and his wife will both be caught in his anger,
as will the very old and ·aged [L full of years].
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,
along with their fields and wives,
because I will ·raise [L stretch out] my hand
·and punish [L against] the people of Judah,” says the Lord.

9 This is what the Lord of armies says:
“They will (A)thoroughly glean the (B)remnant of Israel like the vine;
Pass your hand over the branches again
Like a grape gatherer.”
10 To whom shall I speak and give warning,
That they may hear?
Behold, their (C)ears are [a]closed
And they cannot listen.
Behold, (D)the word of the Lord has become for them a rebuke;
They take no delight in it.
11 But I am (E)full of the wrath of the Lord;
I am (F)weary of holding it in.
“(G)Pour it out on the children in the street
And on the [b]gathering of young men together;
For both husband and wife shall be taken,
The old [c]and the very old.
12 Their (H)houses shall be turned over to others,
Their fields and their wives together;
For I will (I)stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 6:9-12
New International Version
9 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Let them glean the remnant(A) of Israel
as thoroughly as a vine;
pass your hand over the branches again,
like one gathering grapes.”
10 To whom can I speak and give warning?
Who will listen(B) to me?
Their ears are closed[a](C)
so they cannot hear.(D)
The word(E) of the Lord is offensive to them;
they find no pleasure in it.
11 But I am full of the wrath(F) of the Lord,
and I cannot hold it in.(G)
“Pour it out on the children in the street
and on the young men(H) gathered together;
both husband and wife will be caught in it,
and the old, those weighed down with years.(I)
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(J)
together with their fields and their wives,(K)
when I stretch out my hand(L)
against those who live in the land,”
declares the Lord.
