Jeremiah 18:20

Jeremiah's Imprecatory Prayer

¹⁹ Give heed to me, Yahweh, and listen to the voice of those who contend with me. ²⁰ Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them. ²¹ Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, [and] their young men struck of the sword in battle.
