20 But, Lord All-Powerful, you are a fair judge.You know how to test peoples’ hearts and minds.I have told you what I have against them.So let me see you give them the punishment they deserve.
21 So the Lord speaks about the people from Anathoth who plan to kill Jeremiah and say, “Don’t prophesy in the name of the Lord, or we will kill you!”
22 So this is what the Lord All-Powerful says: “I will soon punish the men from Anathoth. Their young men will die in war. Their sons and daughters will die from hunger.
23 No one from the city of Anathoth will be left alive, because I will cause a disaster to happen to them that year.”
