“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?
(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!
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.
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.

“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.

  1. Jeremiah 15:6 tired

“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]
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.
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.
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]
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.
