Jeremiah 6:12Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read VersionTheir houses will be given to others. Their fields and their wives will be given to other people. I will raise my hand and punish the people of Judah.” This message is from the Lord. See the chapter |
All the women who are left in the house of the king of Judah will be brought out. They will be brought to the important officials of the king of Babylon. Your women will make fun of you with a song. This is what they will say: ‘Your friends were stronger than you, and they led you the wrong way. You trusted them, but now your feet are stuck in the mud, and your friends have left you.’
All of them are evil. So the Lord is not happy with the young men, and he will not show mercy to their widows and orphans. That is because they are evil hypocrites. They tell lies. The Lord has punished them, but he is not finished yet. He is still angry, and his arm is raised to continue punishing his people.
