Jeremiah 15:5-9
New King James Version
Jeremiah 15:5-9
New King James Version
5 “For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem?
Or who will bemoan you?
Or who will turn aside to ask how you are doing?
6 (A)You have forsaken Me,” says the Lord,
“You have (B)gone backward.
Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you;
(C)I am [a]weary of relenting!
7 And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land;
I will (D)bereave them of children;
I will destroy My people,
Since they (E)do not return from their ways.
8 Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas;
I will bring against them,
Against the mother of the young men,
A plunderer at noonday;
I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them (F)suddenly.
9 “She(G) languishes who has borne seven;
She has breathed her last;
(H)Her sun has gone down
While it was yet day;
She has been ashamed and confounded.
And the remnant of them I will deliver to the sword
Before their enemies,” says the Lord.
