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)

5 (A)“Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,
(B)or who will grieve for you?
Who will turn aside
to ask about your welfare?
6 (C)You have rejected me, declares the Lord;
(D)you keep going backward,
so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you—
(E)I am weary of relenting.
7 (F)I have winnowed them with (G)a winnowing fork
in the gates of the land;
I have bereaved them; I have destroyed my people;
(H)they did not turn from their ways.
8 I have made their widows more in number
than (I)the sand of the seas;
I have brought against the mothers of young men
a destroyer at noonday;
I have made anguish and terror
fall upon them suddenly.
9 (J)She who bore seven has grown feeble;
(K)she has fainted away;
(L)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,
declares the Lord.”
