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
Revised Standard Version
19 Give heed to me, O Lord,
and hearken to my plea.[a]
20 Is evil a recompense for good?
Yet they have dug a pit for my life.
Remember how I stood before thee
to speak good for them,
to turn away thy wrath from them.
21 Therefore deliver up their children to famine;
give them over to the power of the sword,
let their wives become childless and widowed.
May their men meet death by pestilence,
their youths be slain by the sword in battle.
22 May a cry be heard from their houses,
when thou bringest the marauder suddenly upon them!
For they have dug a pit to take me,
and laid snares for my feet.
23 Yet, thou, O Lord, knowest
all their plotting to slay me.
Forgive not their iniquity,
nor blot out their sin from thy sight.
Let them be overthrown before thee;
deal with them in the time of thine anger.
