Jeremiah 15:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ Who will pity you, Jerusalem?
    Who will shed tears over you?
    Who will stop and ask how you’re doing?
⁶ You have deserted me,
        declares the Lord.
    You have turned your back on me.
    So I will turn my hand against you
        and destroy you.
I’m tired of holding back.
⁷     I will winnow them with a winnowing fork
        at the gates of their country.
I will bereave and destroy my people
    because they haven’t changed their ways.
