Jeremiah 15:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ “Jerusalem, who will have pity on you?
    Who will mourn for you?
    Who will stop to ask how you are doing?
⁶ You have said no to me,”
    announces the Lord.
    “You keep on turning away from me.
So I will reach out and destroy you.
    I am tired of showing you pity.
⁷ I will stand at the city gates of the land.
    I will separate the straw from the grain.
I will destroy my people. I will bring great sorrow on them.
    They have not changed their ways.
