Jeremiah 15:7-9
New International Version
7 I will winnow(A) them with a winnowing fork
at the city gates of the land.
I will bring bereavement(B) and destruction on my people,(C)
for they have not changed their ways.(D)
8 I will make their widows(E) more numerous
than the sand of the sea.
At midday I will bring a destroyer(F)
against the mothers of their young men;
suddenly I will bring down on them
anguish and terror.(G)
9 The mother of seven will grow faint(H)
and breathe her last.(I)
Her sun will set while it is still day;
she will be disgraced(J) and humiliated.
I will put the survivors to the sword(K)
before their enemies,”(L)
declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 15:7-9
King James Version
7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways.
8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the Lord.
