Jeremiah 6:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 This is what the Lord of armies says:
“They will (A)thoroughly glean the (B)remnant of Israel like the vine;
Pass your hand over the branches again
Like a grape gatherer.”
10 To whom shall I speak and give warning,
That they may hear?
Behold, their (C)ears are [a]closed
And they cannot listen.
Behold, (D)the word of the Lord has become for them a rebuke;
They take no delight in it.
11 But I am (E)full of the wrath of the Lord;
I am (F)weary of holding it in.
“(G)Pour it out on the children in the street
And on the [b]gathering of young men together;
For both husband and wife shall be taken,
The old [c]and the very old.
12 Their (H)houses shall be turned over to others,
Their fields and their wives together;
For I will (I)stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the Lord.

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.
