This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says:

“Let them glean the remnant of Israel
    as thoroughly as they would the vine.
Pass your hand over them like grape gatherers
    over the branches.
10 To whom will I speak and give a warning
    so they’ll listen?
Look, their ears are closed,[a]
    and they cannot hear.
Look, this message from the Lord is contemptible to them;
    they don’t delight in it.
11 I’m full of the wrath of the Lord,
    and I’m tired of holding it back.
Pour it out on the children in the street
    and on the groups of young men gathered together.
Indeed, both husband and wife will be caught in it,
    the old and the very old.
12 Their houses will be turned over to others—
    their fields and wives together—
when I stretch out my hand against
    those who live in the land,”
        declares the Lord.

  1. Jeremiah 6:10 Lit. uncircumcised

Thus says Yahweh of hosts:
    “They will thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine,
    turn back your hand over the branches like a grape-gatherer.
10 To whom shall I speak and admonish,
    that they may hear?
Look, their ears are closed,[a]
    and they are not able to listen attentively.
Look, the word of Yahweh is to them an object of scorn,
    they do not delight in it.
11 But I am full with the wrath of Yahweh,
    I struggle to hold it[b] in.
Pour it out on the children[c] in the street,
    and on the assemblies[d] of young men at the same time.
For even husband with wife will get trapped,
    the old with him who is full of days.
12 And their houses will be turned over to others,
    their fields and their wives together.
For I will stretch out my hand
    against the inhabitants of the land,” declares[e] Yahweh.
