Jeremiah 15:5-9
New American Standard Bible
5 “Indeed, who will have (A)pity on you, Jerusalem,
Or who will (B)mourn for you,
Or who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?
6 You who have (C)forsaken Me,” declares the Lord,
“You keep (D)going backward.
So I will (E)stretch out My hand against you and destroy you;
I am (F)tired of relenting!
7 I will (G)winnow them with a winnowing fork
At the gates of the land;
I will (H)bereave them of children, I will destroy My people;
(I)They did not [a]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 young man,
A (K)destroyer at noon;
I will suddenly bring down on her
Shock and horror.
9 She who (L)gave birth to seven sons withers away;
[b]Her breathing is labored.
Her (M)sun has set while it was still day;
She has been (N)shamed and humiliated.
So I will (O)turn over their survivors to the sword
Before their enemies,” declares the Lord.

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.
