Lamentations 3:66

64 You will pay them back what they deserve, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.

65 Put a veil of anguish over their hearts; may Your curse be upon them!

You will pursue them in anger and exterminate them from under Your heavens, O LORD.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
