Jeremiah 15:2-9

2And it shall be that when they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ then you are to tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord: “Those destined 1for death, to death; And those destined for the sword, to the sword; And those destined for famine, to famine; And those destined for captivity, to captivity.”’ 3I will 2appoint over them four kinds of doom,” declares the Lord: “the sword to slay, the 3dogs to drag off, and the 4birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy. 4I will 5make them an object of horror among all the kingdoms of the earth because of 6Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, the king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem.

5“Indeed, who will have 7pity on you, O Jerusalem, Or who will 8mourn for you, Or who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?6You who have 9forsaken Me,” declares the Lord, “You keep 10going backward. So I will 11stretch out My hand against you and destroy you; I am 12tired of relenting!7I will 13winnow them with a winnowing fork At the gates of the land; I will 14bereave them of children, I will destroy My people; 15They did not 16repent of their ways.8Their 17widows 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 18destroyer at noonday; I will suddenly bring down on her Anguish and dismay.9She who 19bore seven sons pines away; 20Her breathing is labored. Her 21sun has set while it was yet day; She has been 22shamed and humiliated. So I will 23give over their survivors to the sword Before their enemies,” declares the Lord.
