Jeremiah 18:21

They will be delivered over to the power of the sword; They will be a portion for foxes.

Let his sons be orphans And his wife a widow.

Therefore the Lord is not glad in their choice men, Nor does He have compassion on their orphans or their widows; For every one of them is godless and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking wicked foolishness. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn back, And His hand is still stretched out.

For death has come up through our windows; It has entered our palaces To cut off the infants from the streets, The choice men from the open squares.

therefore thus says Yahweh of hosts, “Behold, I am about to punish them! The choice men will die by the sword; their sons and daughters will die by famine;

“And I will winnow them with a winnowing fork At the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children; I will make My people perish; They did not repent of their ways.

“Therefore her young men will fall in her open squares, And all her men of war will be silenced in that day,” declares Yahweh.

“The Lord has rejected all my mighty men In my midst; He has called an appointed time against me To break my young men; The Lord has trodden as in a wine press The virgin daughter of Judah.

We have become orphans without a father; Our mothers are like widows.

“Thus I will judge you like women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

“I sent a pestilence among you after the manner of Egypt; I killed your choice men by the sword along with your captured horses, And I made the stench of your camp rise up even in your nostrils; Yet you have not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.
