Jeremiah 6:9-12

Modern English Version

They will thoroughly glean
    the remnant of Israel as a vine.
Turn back your hand
    as a grape gatherer into the baskets.

¹⁰ To whom shall I speak and give warning
    that they may hear?
See, their ears are closed,
    and they cannot listen.
Indeed, the word of the Lord is a reproach to them;
    they have no delight in it.
¹¹ Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord;
    I am weary with holding in.

I will pour it out upon the children in the street
    and upon the assembly of young men together;
for even the husband with the wife shall be taken,
    the aged with him who is full of days.
¹² Their houses shall be turned to others,
    with their fields and wives together;
for I will stretch out My hand
    upon the inhabitants of the land,
    says the Lord.
