Jeremiah 6:9-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Wrath on Israel
9 This is what the Lord of Hosts says:
Glean the remnant of Israel(A)
as thoroughly as a vine.
Pass your hand once more like a grape gatherer
over the branches.
10 Who can I speak to and give such a warning[a]
that they will listen?
Look, their ear is uncircumcised,[b](B)
so they cannot pay attention.
See, the word of the Lord has become contemptible to them—
they find no pleasure in it.(C)
11 But I am full of the Lord’s wrath;
I am tired of holding it back.(D)
Pour it out on the children in the street,(E)
on the gang of young men as well.
For both husband and wife will be captured,
the old with the very old.[c]
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(F)
their fields and wives as well,
for I will stretch out My hand(G)
against the inhabitants of the land.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

Jeremiah 6:9-12
International Standard Version
9 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.
