Jeremiah 6:9-12
Lexham English Bible
9 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.

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.
