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.

5 “Who will have pity(A) on you, Jerusalem?
Who will mourn for you?

So I will reach out(C) and destroy you;
I am tired of holding back.(D)
7 I will winnow(E) them with a winnowing fork
at the city gates of the land.
I will bring bereavement(F) and destruction on my people,(G)
for they have not changed their ways.(H)
8 I will make their widows(I) more numerous
than the sand of the sea.
At midday I will bring a destroyer(J)
against the mothers of their young men;
suddenly I will bring down on them
anguish and terror.(K)
9 The mother of seven will grow faint(L)
and breathe her last.(M)
Her sun will set while it is still day;
she will be disgraced(N) and humiliated.
I will put the survivors to the sword(O)
before their enemies,”(P)
declares the Lord.
