Jeremiah 6:9-12
New Living Translation
9 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:
“Even the few who remain in Israel
will be picked over again,
as when a harvester checks each vine a second time
to pick the grapes that were missed.”
Judah’s Constant Rebellion
10 To whom can I give warning?
Who will listen when I speak?
Their ears are closed,
and they cannot hear.
They scorn the word of the Lord.
They don’t want to listen at all.
11 So now I am filled with the Lord’s fury.
Yes, I am tired of holding it in!
“I will pour out my fury on children playing in the streets
and on gatherings of young men,
on husbands and wives
and on those who are old and gray.
12 Their homes will be turned over to their enemies,
as will their fields and their wives.
For I will raise my powerful fist
against the people of this land,”
says the Lord.

9 This is what the Lord of heavenly forces says:
From top to bottom, let them harvest
the remaining few in Israel.
Pick clean every
last grape on the vine!
10 To whom can I speak and warn?
How can I get someone’s attention?
Their ears are shut tight,[a]
so they won’t hear.
They are ashamed of the Lord’s word
and take no pleasure in it.
11 But I’m filled with the Lord’s rage
and am tired of holding it in.
Pour it out on the children in the streets
and on the youths gathered together;
husband with wife will be trapped,
as will those old and gray.
12 Their homes will be turned over to others,
their fields and wives as well.
I will stretch out my hand
against the people of this land,
declares the Lord.

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.
