 <<  Yeremia 15 >> 

1Then the LORD said to me, "Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me pleading for these people, I wouldn’t help them. Away with them! Get them out of my sight!

2And if they say to you, ‘But where can we go?’ tell them, ‘This is what the LORD says: Those who are destined for death, to death; those who are destined for war, to war; those who are destined for famine, to famine; those who are destined for captivity, to captivity.’

3"I will send four kinds of destroyers against them," says the LORD. "I will send the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, the vultures to devour, and the wild animals to finish up what is left.

4Because of the wicked things Manasseh son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem, I will make my people an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

5"Who will feel sorry for you, Jerusalem? Who will weep for you? Who will even bother to ask how you are?

6You have forsaken me and turned your back on me," says the LORD. "Therefore, I will raise my clenched fists to destroy you. I am tired of always giving you another chance.

7I will winnow you like grain at the gates of your cities and take away everything you hold dear. I will destroy my own people, because they refuse to turn back to me from all their evil ways.

8"There will be more widows than the grains of sand along the seashore. At noontime I will bring a destroyer against the mothers of young men. I will cause anguish and terror to come upon them suddenly.

9The mother of seven grows faint and gasps for breath; her sun has gone down while it is yet day. She sits childless now, disgraced and humiliated. And those who are left, I will hand over to the enemy to be killed," says the LORD.

10Then I said, "What sadness is mine, my mother. Oh, that I had died at birth! I am hated everywhere I go. I am neither a lender who has threatened to foreclose nor a borrower who refuses to pay––yet they all curse me."

11The LORD replied, "All will be well with you, Jeremiah. Your enemies will ask you to plead on their behalf in times of trouble and distress.

12Can a man break a bar of iron from the north, or a bar of bronze?

13Because of all my people’s sins against me, I will hand over their wealth and treasures as plunder to the enemy.

14I will tell their enemies to take them as captives to a foreign land. For my anger blazes forth like fire, and it will consume them."

15Then I said, "LORD, you know I am suffering for your sake. Punish my persecutors! Don’t let them kill me! Be merciful to me and give them what they deserve!

16Your words are what sustain me. They bring me great joy and are my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, O LORD God Almighty.

17I never joined the people in their merry feasts. I sat alone because your hand was on me. I burst with indignation at their sins.

18Why then does my suffering continue? Why is my wound so incurable? Your help seems as uncertain as a seasonal brook. It is like a spring that has gone dry."

19The LORD replied, "If you return to me, I will restore you so you can continue to serve me. If you speak words that are worthy, you will be my spokesman. You are to influence them; do not let them influence you!

20They will fight against you like an attacking army, but I will make you as secure as a fortified wall. They will not conquer you, for I will protect and deliver you. I, the LORD, have spoken!

21Yes, I will certainly keep you safe from these wicked men. I will rescue you from their cruel hands."
