5“Indeed, who will have pity on you, Jerusalem,

Or who will mourn for you,

Or who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?

6“You who have forsaken Me,” declares the Lord,

“You keep going backward.

So I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you;

I am tired of relenting!

7“I will winnow them with a winnowing fork

At the gates of the land;

I will bereave them of children, I will destroy My people;

They did not repent of their ways.

8“Their widows 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 destroyer at noon;

I will suddenly bring down on her

Shock and horror.

9“She who gave birth to seven sons withers away;

Her breathing is labored.

Her sun has set while it was still day;

She has been shamed and humiliated.

So I will turn over their survivors to the sword

Before their enemies,” declares the Lord.
