Jeremiah 15:2-9
2And it shall come to pass, if they sayH559 unto thee, Whither shall we go forthH3318? then thou shalt tellH559 them, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; Such as are for deathH4194, to deathH4194; and such as are for the swordH2719, to the swordH2719; and such as are for the famineH7458, to the famineH7458; and such as are for the captivityH7628, to the captivityH7628.
3And I will appointH6485 over them fourH702 kindsH4940, saithH5002 YhwhH3068: the swordH2719 to slayH2026, and the dogsH3611 to tearH5498, and the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and the beastsH929 of the earthH776, to devourH398 and destroyH7843.1
4And I will causeH5414 them to be removedH2113H2189 into all kingdomsH4467 of the earthH776, becauseH1558 of ManassehH4519 the sonH1121 of HezekiahH3169 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, for that which he didH6213 in JerusalemH3389.2
5For who shall have pityH2550 upon thee, O JerusalemH3389? or who shall bemoanH5110 thee? or who shall go asideH5493 to askH7592 how thou doestH7965?3
6Thou hast forsakenH5203 me, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, thou art goneH3212 backwardH268: therefore will I stretch outH5186 my handH3027 against thee, and destroyH7843 thee; I am wearyH3811 with repentingH5162.
7And I will fanH2219 them with a fanH4214 in the gatesH8179 of the landH776; I will bereaveH7921 them of children, I will destroyH6 my peopleH5971, since they returnH7725 not from their waysH1870.4
8Their widowsH490 are increasedH6105 to me above the sandH2344 of the seasH3220: I have broughtH935 upon them against the motherH517 of the young menH970 a spoilerH7703 at noondayH6672: I have caused him to fallH5307 upon it suddenlyH6597, and terrorsH928 upon the cityH5892.5
9She that hath borneH3205 sevenH7651 languishethH535: she hath given upH5301 the ghostH5315; her sunH8121 is goneH935 down while it was yet dayH3117H3119: she hath been ashamedH954 and confoundedH2659: and the residueH7611 of them will I deliverH5414 to the swordH2719 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.
