13

Therefore thus saithh559h8804 the LORDh3068; Askh7592h8798 ye now among the heathenh1471, who hath heardh8085h8804 such things: the virginh1330 of Israelh3478 hath doneh6213h8804 a veryh3966 horrible thingh8186.

17

I will scatterh6327h8686 them as with an easth6921 windh7307 beforeh6440 the enemyh341h8802; I will shewh7200h8799 them the backh6203, and not the faceh6440, in the dayh3117 of their calamityh343.

18

Then saidh559h8799 they, Comeh3212h8798, and let us deviseh2803h8799 devicesh4284 against Jeremiahh3414; for the lawh8451 shall not perishh6h8799 from the priesth3548, nor counselh6098 from the wiseh2450, nor the wordh1697 from the propheth5030. Comeh3212h8798, and let us smiteh5221h8686 him with the tongueh3956, and let us not give heedh7181h8686 to any of his wordsh1697. with...: or, for the tongue

20

Shall evilh7451 be recompensedh7999h8792 for goodh2896? for they have diggedh3738h8804 a pith7745 for my soulh5315. Rememberh2142h8798 that I stoodh5975h8800 beforeh6440 thee to speakh1696h8763 goodh2896 for them, and to turn awayh7725h8687 thy wrathh2534 from them.

Therefore deliver uph5414h8798 their childrenh1121 to the famineh7458, and pour outh5064h8685 their blood by the forceh3027 of the swordh2719; and let their wivesh802 be bereavedh7909 of their children, and be widowsh490; and let their menh582 be puth2026h8803 to deathh4194; let their young menh970 be slainh5221h8716 by the swordh2719 in battleh4421. pour...: Heb. pour them out

23

Yet, LORDh3068, thou knowesth3045h8804 all their counselh6098 against me to slayh4194 me : forgiveh3722h8762 not their iniquityh5771, neither blot outh4229h8686 their sinh2403 from thy sighth6440, but let them be overthrownh3782h8716 beforeh6440 thee; dealh6213h8798 thus with them in the timeh6256 of thine angerh639. to slay...: Heb. for death
