Jeremiah 15:7-9

Christian Standard Bible

⁷ I scattered them with a winnowing fork
at the city gates of the land.
I made them childless; I destroyed my people.
They would not turn from their ways.^(A)
8 I 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.
⁹ The 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.
