1The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
2
Do the mountain waters run dry,
the cold flowing streams?
15 in their ways,
in the ancient roads,
and have gone into bypaths,
not the highway,
16 and let us not heed any of his words.”
19Give heed to me, O Lord,
and listen to what my adversaries say!
20 Ps 35.7; 57.6; 106.23 Is evil a recompense for good?
Yet they have dug a pit for my life.
Remember how I stood before you
to speak good for them,
to turn away your wrath from them.
21 Ps 109.9, 10; Isa 13.18; Jer 9.21; 11.22; 15.8; Ezek 22.25 Therefore give their children over to famine;
hurl them out to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless and widowed.
May their men meet death by pestilence,
their youths be slain by the sword in battle.
22 Ps 140.5; Jer 6.26 May a cry be heard from their houses
when you bring the marauder suddenly upon them!
For they have dug a pit to catch me
and laid snares for my feet.
23 Ps 109.14; Isa 2.9; Jer 6.15, 21; 7.20 Yet you, O Lord, know
all their plotting to kill me.
Do not forgive their iniquity;
do not blot out their sin from your sight.
Let them be tripped up before you;
deal with them while you are angry.
