Jeremiah 15:5-9
English Standard Version
5 (A)“Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,
(B)or who will grieve for you?
Who will turn aside
to ask about your welfare?
6 (C)You have rejected me, declares the Lord;
(D)you keep going backward,
so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you—
(E)I am weary of relenting.
7 (F)I have winnowed them with (G)a winnowing fork
in the gates of the land;
I have bereaved them; I have destroyed my people;
(H)they did not turn from their ways.
8 I have made their widows more in number
than (I)the sand of the seas;
I have brought against the mothers of young men
a destroyer at noonday;
I have made anguish and terror
fall upon them suddenly.
9 (J)She who bore seven has grown feeble;
(K)she has fainted away;
(L)her sun went down while it was yet day;
she has been shamed and disgraced.
And the rest of them I will give to the sword
before their enemies,
declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah 15:5-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
5 Who will have pity on you, Jerusalem?(A)
Who will show sympathy toward you?(B)
Who will turn aside
to ask about your welfare?
6 You have left Me.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
You have turned your back,
so I have stretched out My hand against you
and destroyed you.
I am tired of showing compassion.
7 I scattered them with a winnowing fork
at the gates of the land.
I made them childless; I destroyed My people.
They would not turn from their ways.(C)
8 I made their widows more numerous
than the sand of the seas.(D)
I brought a destroyer at noon
against the mother of young men.
I suddenly released on her
agitation and terrors.
9 The mother of seven grew faint;(E)
she breathed her last breath.
Her sun set while it was still day;
she was ashamed and humiliated.
The rest of them I will give over to the sword
in the presence of their enemies.”
This is the Lord’s declaration.
Jeremiah 15:5-9

Who will mourn for you?

“You keep on backsliding.
So I will reach out(C) and destroy you;
I am tired of holding back.(D)

at the city gates of the land.
I will bring bereavement(F) and destruction on my people,(G)

than the sand of the sea.
At midday I will bring a destroyer(J)

and breathe her last.(M)
Her sun will set while it is still day;

declares the Lord.
