15:1 Then
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"Though
Moses
and
Samuel
stood
before
me,
yet
my
heart
would
not
turn
toward
this
people.
Send
them
out
of
my
sight,
and
let
them
go!
15:2 And
when
they
ask
you,
'Where
shall
we
go'
you
shall
say
to
them,
'Thus
says
the
LORD:
"'Those
who
are
for
pestilence,
to
pestilence,
and
those
who
are
for
the
sword,
to
the
sword;
those
who
are
for
famine,
to
famine,
and
those
who
are
for
captivity,
to
captivity.'
15:3 I
will
appoint
over
them
four
kinds
of
destroyers,
declares
the
LORD:
the
sword
to
kill,
the
dogs
to
tear,
and
the
birds
of
the
air
and
the
beasts
of
the
earth
to
devour
and
destroy.
15:4 And
I
will
make
them
a
horror
to
all
the
kingdoms
of
the
earth
because
of
what
Manasseh
the
son
of
Hezekiah,
king
of
Judah,
did
in
Jerusalem.
15:5 "Who
will
have
pity
on
you,
O
Jerusalem,
or
who
will
grieve
for
you
Who
will
turn
aside
to
ask
about
your
welfare
15:6 You
have
rejected
me,
declares
the
LORD;
you
keep
going
backward,
so
I
have
stretched
out
my
hand
against
you
and
destroyed
you--
I
am
weary
of
relenting.
15:7 I
have
winnowed
them
with
a
winnowing
fork
in
the
gates
of
the
land;
I
have
bereaved
them;
I
have
destroyed
my
people;
they
did
not
turn
from
their
ways.
15:8 I
have
made
their
widows
more
in
number
than
the
sand
of
the
seas;
I
have
brought
against
the
mothers
of
young
men
a
destroyer
at
noonday;
I
have
made
anguish
and
terror
fall
upon
them
suddenly.
15:9 She
who
bore
seven
has
grown
feeble;
she
has
fainted
away;
her
sun
went
down
while
it
was
yet
day;
she
has
been
shamed
and
disgraced.
And
the
rest
of
them
I
will
give
to
the
sword
before
their
enemies,
declares
the
LORD."
15:10 Woe
is
me,
my
mother,
that
you
bore
me,
a
man
of
strife
and
contention
to
the
whole
land!
I
have
not
lent,
nor
have
I
borrowed,
yet
all
of
them
curse
me.
15:11 The
LORD
said,
"Have
I
not
set
you
free
for
their
good
Have
I
not
pleaded
for
you
before
the
enemy
in
the
time
of
trouble
and
in
the
time
of
distress
15:12 Can
one
break
iron,
iron
from
the
north,
and
bronze
15:13 "Your
wealth
and
your
treasures
I
will
give
as
spoil,
without
price,
for
all
your
sins,
throughout
all
your
territory.
15:14 I
will
make
you
serve
your
enemies
in
a
land
that
you
do
not
know,
for
in
my
anger
a
fire
is
kindled
that
shall
burn
forever."
15:15 O
LORD,
you
know;
remember
me
and
visit
me,
and
take
vengeance
for
me
on
my
persecutors.
In
your
forbearance
take
me
not
away;
know
that
for
your
sake
I
bear
reproach.
15:16 Your
words
were
found,
and
I
ate
them,
and
your
words
became
to
me
a
joy
and
the
delight
of
my
heart,
for
I
am
called
by
your
name,
O
LORD,
God
of
hosts.
15:17 I
did
not
sit
in
the
company
of
revelers,
nor
did
I
rejoice;
I
sat
alone,
because
your
hand
was
upon
me,
for
you
had
filled
me
with
indignation.
15:18 Why
is
my
pain
unceasing,
my
wound
incurable,
refusing
to
be
healed
Will
you
be
to
me
like
a
deceitful
brook,
like
waters
that
fail
15:19 Therefore
thus
says
the
LORD:
"If
you
return,
I
will
restore
you,
and
you
shall
stand
before
me.
If
you
utter
what
is
precious,
and
not
what
is
worthless,
you
shall
be
as
my
mouth.
They
shall
turn
to
you,
but
you
shall
not
turn
to
them.
15:20 And
I
will
make
you
to
this
people
a
fortified
wall
of
bronze;
they
will
fight
against
you,
but
they
shall
not
prevail
over
you,
for
I
am
with
you
to
save
you
and
deliver
you,
declares
the
LORD.
15:21 I
will
deliver
you
out
of
the
hand
of
the
wicked,
and
redeem
you
from
the
grasp
of
the
ruthless."
