Jeremiah 11:20-23 God's Word Translation (GW)

20. O Lord of Armies, you judge fairlyand test motives and thoughts.I want to see you take revenge on them,because I’ve brought my case to you.

21. This is what the Lord says: The people of Anathoth want to kill you. They say, “Don’t prophesy in the name of the Lord, or we’ll kill you.”

22. This is what the Lord of Armies says: I’m going to punish them. The young men will die because of war. Their sons and daughters will die because of famine.

23. I will bring a disaster on the people of Anathoth. It will be a year of punishment. There will be no survivors.
