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
New International Version
5 “Who will have pity(A) on you, Jerusalem?
Who will mourn for you?
Who will stop to ask how you are?
6 You have rejected(B) me,” declares the Lord.
“You keep on backsliding.
So I will reach out(C) and destroy you;
I am tired of holding back.(D)
7 I will winnow(E) them with a winnowing fork
at the city gates of the land.
I will bring bereavement(F) and destruction on my people,(G)
for they have not changed their ways.(H)
8 I will make their widows(I) more numerous
than the sand of the sea.
At midday I will bring a destroyer(J)
against the mothers of their young men;
suddenly I will bring down on them
anguish and terror.(K)
9 The mother of seven will grow faint(L)
and breathe her last.(M)
Her sun will set while it is still day;
she will be disgraced(N) and humiliated.
I will put the survivors to the sword(O)
before their enemies,”(P)
declares the Lord.
