Jeremiah 15:5-9
Legacy Standard Bible
5 “Indeed, who will (A)spare you, O Jerusalem,
Or who will (B)console you,
Or who will turn aside to ask about your well-being?
6 You who have (C)abandoned Me,” declares Yahweh,
“You keep (D)going backward.
So I will (E)stretch out My hand against you and bring you to ruin;
I am (F)tired of [a]relenting!
7 And I will (G)winnow them with a winnowing fork
At the gates of the land;
I will (H)bereave them of children; I will make My people perish;
(I)They did not [b]repent of their ways.
8 Their (J)widows will be more numerous before Me
Than the sand of the seas;
I will bring against them, against the mother of a choice man,
A (K)destroyer at noonday;
I will suddenly bring down on her
Anguish and terror.
9 She who (L)bore seven sons languishes;
[c]Her breathing is labored.
Her (M)sun has set while it was yet day;
She has been (N)shamed and humiliated.
So I will (O)give over their survivors to the sword
Before their enemies,” declares Yahweh.
