Jeremiah 18:21

Young's Literal Translation (1862/1898)

  • Ps 109:9-9 : 9 His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow. 10 And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have begged, And have sought out of their dry places. 11 An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And strangers spoil his labour. 12 He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing favour to his orphans. 13 His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation is their name blotted out. 14 The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah, And the sin of his mother is not blotted out. 15 They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off from earth their memorial. 16 Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to slay, 17 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him. 18 And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones. 19 It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a continual girdle he girdeth it on. 20 This `is' the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of those speaking evil against my soul.
