International Standard Version
Jeremiah 15:6-8
International Standard Version
6 You have deserted me,” declares the Lord.
“You keep going backward.
I’ll reach out my hand and destroy you.
I’m tired of showing compassion.
7 I’ll winnow[a] them with a winnowing fork
in the gates of the land.
I’ll make them childless.
I’ll destroy my people,
for they didn’t change their ways.
8 I’ll make their[b] widows more numerous
than the sand of the sea.
At noontime I’ll send a destroyer
against the mother[c] of a young man.
I’ll cause terror and anguish
to come to her unexpectedly.
