Jeremiah 15:5-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,
or who will bemoan you?
Who will turn aside
to ask about your welfare?
6 You have rejected me, says the Lord;
you are going backward,
so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you—
I am weary of relenting.(A)
7 I have winnowed them with a winnowing fork
in the gates of the land;
I have bereaved them; I have destroyed my people;
they did not turn from their ways.(B)
8 Their widows became more numerous
than the sand of the seas;
I have brought against the mothers of youths
a destroyer at noonday;
I have made anguish and terror
fall upon her suddenly.
9 She who bore seven has languished;
she has swooned away;
her sun went down while it was yet day;
she has been shamed and disgraced.
And the rest of them I will give to the sword
before their enemies,
says the Lord.(C)
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.
