Jeremija 15

1Then Yahweh said to me, “Even if Moses or Samuel were standing in front of me, I would still not be in favor of this people. Send them out from before me, for them to go away. 2It will happen that they will say to you, 'Where should we go?' Then you must say to them, 'Yahweh says this: 3For I will assign them to four groups—this is Yahweh's declaration—the sword to slaughter some, the dogs to drag some away, the birds of the skies and the beast of the earth to consume and destroy some. 4I will make of them a horrifying thing to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, did in Jerusalem. 5For who will have compassion for you, Jerusalem? Who will grieve for you? 6You have forsaken me—this is Yahweh's declaration—you have gone back from me. 7So I will winnow them with a pitchfork at the gates of the land. 8I will make their widows number more than the sands of the seashore. Against the mothers of young men I will send 9The mother who has borne seven children will waste away. She will gasp. Her sun will set while it is still day. 10Woe to me, my mother! For you have borne me, I who am a man of controversy and argument through all the land. 11Yahweh said: “Will I not rescue you for good? 12Can one smash iron? Especially iron from the north that is mixed with bronze? 13I will give to your enemies your wealth and treasures as free plunder. 14Then I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, Instead of Then I will make you serve your enemies , some ancient copies have Then I will make your enemies take you . 15Yahweh, you know! Remember me and help me. Bring vengeance for me against those who persecute me. 16Your words have been found, and I consumed them. Your words became to me a joy 17I did not sit in the circle of those who celebrated or rejoiced. 18Why is my pain ongoing and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? 19Therefore Yahweh said this, “If you repent, Jeremiah, then I will restore you, and you will stand before me and serve me. 20I will make you like an impenetrable bronze wall to this people, and they will wage war against you.
