This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Let them glean the remnant(A) of Israel
    as thoroughly as a vine;
pass your hand over the branches again,
    like one gathering grapes.”

10 To whom can I speak and give warning?
    Who will listen(B) to me?
Their ears are closed[a](C)
    so they cannot hear.(D)
The word(E) of the Lord is offensive to them;
    they find no pleasure in it.
11 But I am full of the wrath(F) of the Lord,
    and I cannot hold it in.(G)

“Pour it out on the children in the street
    and on the young men(H) gathered together;
both husband and wife will be caught in it,
    and the old, those weighed down with years.(I)
12 Their houses will be turned over to others,(J)
    together with their fields and their wives,(K)
when I stretch out my hand(L)
    against those who live in the land,”
declares the Lord.

  1. Jeremiah 6:10 Hebrew uncircumcised

Thus says the Lord of hosts:
Glean[a] thoroughly as a vine
    the remnant of Israel;
like a grape gatherer, pass your hand again
    over its branches.(A)

10 To whom shall I speak and give warning,
    that they may hear?
See, their ears are closed;[b]
    they cannot listen.
The word of the Lord is to them an object of scorn;
    they take no pleasure in it.(B)
11 But I am full of the wrath of the Lord;
    I am weary of holding it in.

Pour it out on the children in the street
    and on the gatherings of young men as well;
both husband and wife shall be taken,
    the elderly and those full of days.(C)
12 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,
            says the Lord.(D)
