Jeremiah 15:5-9
American Standard Version
5 For who will have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who will bemoan thee? or who will turn aside to ask of thy welfare? 6 Thou hast rejected me, saith Jehovah, thou art gone backward: therefore have I stretched out my hand against thee, and destroyed thee; I am weary with repenting. 7 And I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they returned not from their ways. 8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought upon them [a]against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday: I have caused anguish and terrors to fall upon her suddenly. 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 put to shame and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith Jehovah.

Jeremiah 15:5-9
Lexham English Bible
5 “For who will have compassion on you, O Jerusalem,
or who will show sympathy to you,
or who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?[a]
6 You have forsaken me,” declares[b] Yahweh.
“You go backward, so I have stretched my hand against you,
and I have destroyed you.
I am tired of becoming remorseful.
7 And I have winnowed them with a winnowing fork in the gates of the land.
I am bereaved.
I have destroyed my people.
They did not turn back from their ways.
8 Their widows[c] will be more numerous before me than the sand of the seas.
I have brought to them, against the mothers[d] of young men,[e]
a destroyer at noon.
I will suddenly drop on her anguish and horror.[f]
9 She who gave birth to seven has withered away.
She gasps her breath.
Her sun set[g] while still day.
She has been put to shame and disgraced.
And the remainder of them I will give to the sword
before[h] their enemies,” declares[i] Yahweh.
