Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
The verse 21 is found in chapter 18 of Jeremiah. The people respond to the message by conspiring against Jeremiah and declaring that they will not abandon their own customs. The prophet contrasts this conduct with the unusualness of a nation abandoning its god. The final prayer is a severe lament over the persecution suffered by one who had interceded for them.
