Jeremiah 6:9-12
English Standard Version
9 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
(A)“They shall glean thoroughly as a vine
the remnant of Israel;
like a grape gatherer pass your hand again
over its branches.”
10 (B)To whom shall I speak and give warning,
that they may hear?
(C)Behold, their ears are uncircumcised,
(D)they cannot listen;
behold, (E)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;
(F)I am weary of holding it in.
(G)“Pour it out upon the children in the street,
and upon the gatherings of young men, also;
(H)both husband and wife (I)shall be taken,
the elderly and the very aged.
12 (J)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,”
declares the Lord.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 Thus says the Lord of hosts:
Glean[a] thoroughly as a vine
the remnant of Israel;
like a grape gatherer, pass your hand again
over its branches.(A)
10 To whom shall I speak and give warning,
that they may hear?
See, their ears are closed;[b]
they cannot listen.
The word of the Lord is to them an object of scorn;
they take no pleasure in it.(B)
11 But I am full of the wrath of the Lord;
I am weary of holding it in.
Pour it out on the children in the street
and on the gatherings of young men as well;
both husband and wife shall be taken,
the elderly and those full of days.(C)
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.(D)
