View Full Chapter

5“Who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will stop to ask how you are?

6You have rejected me,” declares the LORD . “You keep on backsliding. So I will reach out and destroy you; I am tired of holding back.

7I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways.

8I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. At midday I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of their young men; suddenly I will bring down on them anguish and terror.

9The mother of seven will grow faint and breathe her last. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. I will put the survivors to the sword before their enemies,” declares the LORD .
