Jeremiah 15:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷I scattered them with a winnowing fork
at the gates of the land.
I made them childless; I destroyed My people.
They would not turn from their ways.^(A)
⁸I made their widows more numerous
than the sand of the seas.^(B)
I brought a destroyer at noon
against the mother of young men.
I suddenly released on her
agitation and terrors.
⁹The mother of seven grew faint;^(C)
she breathed her last breath.
Her sun set while it was still day;
she was ashamed and humiliated.
The rest of them I will give over to the sword
in the presence of their enemies.”
This is the Lord’s declaration.
