I AM WEARY WITH REPENTING
JEREMIAH 15:1-10
THEN SAID THE LORD
UNTO ME,
THOUGH
STOOD BEFORE ME,
YET MY MIND COULD
NOT BE TOWARD
THIS PEOPLE:
CAST THEM OUT
OF MY SIGHT,
AND
LET THEM GO FORTH.
AND IT SHALL
COME TO PASS,
IF THEY SAY UNTO THEE,
WHITHER SHALL
WE GO FORTH?
THEN THOU SHALT
TELL THEM,
THUS SAITH THE LORD;
SUCH AS ARE FOR DEATH,
TO DEATH;
AND SUCH AS
ARE FOR THE SWORD,
TO THE SWORD;
AND SUCH AS ARE
FOR THE FAMINE,
TO THE FAMINE;
AND SUCH AS
ARE FOR THE CAPTIVITY,
TO THE CAPTIVITY.
AND I WILL APPOINT
OVER
THEM FOUR KINDS,
SAITH THE LORD:
THE SWORD TO SLAY,
AND
THE DOGS TO TEAR,
AND
THE FOWLS OF THE HEAVEN,
AND
THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH,
TO
DEVOUR AND DESTROY.
AND
I WILL CAUSE THEM
TO BE REMOVED
INTO ALL KINGDOMS
OF THE EARTH,
BECAUSE OF MANASSEH
THE SON OF HEZEKIAH
KING OF JUDAH,
FOR THAT WHICH
HE DID IN JERUSALEM.
FOR WHO SHALL
HAVE PITY UPON THEE,
O JERUSALEM?
OR WHO SHALL
BEMOAN THEE?
OR
WHO SHALL GO
ASIDE TO ASK HOW
THOU DOEST?
THOU HAST FORSAKEN ME,
SAITH THE LORD,
THOU ART GONE
BACKWARD:
THEREFORE WILL
I STRETCH OUT MY
HAND AGAINST THEE,
AND
DESTROY THEE;
AND
I WILL FAN THEM WITH A FAN
IN
THE GATES OF THE LAND;
I WILL BEREAVE THEM OF CHILDREN,
I WILL DESTROY
MY PEOPLE SINCE
THEY RETURN
NOT FROM THEIR WAYS.
THEIR WIDOWS
THEIR WIDOWS
ARE INCREASED
TO ME ABOVE
THE SAND OF THE SEAS:
I HAVE BROUGHT UPON
THEM AGAINST
THE MOTHER OF THE
YOUNG MEN A SPOILER
AT NOONDAY:
I HAVE CAUSED HIM
TO FALL UPON IT SUDDENLY,
AND TERRORS
UPON THE CITY.
SHE THAT HATH
BORNE SEVEN
LANGUISHETH:
SHE HATH GIVEN
UP THE GHOST;
HER SUN IS GONE
DOWN WHILE IT WAS
YET DAY:
SHE HATH BEEN
ASHAMED AND CONFOUNDED: AND
THE RESIDUE OF THEM
WILL I DELIVER
TO THE SWORD BEFORE
THEIR ENEMIES,
SAITH THE LORD.
WOE IS ME, MY MOTHER,
THAT THOU HAST
BORNE ME A MAN OF STRIFE
AND A MAN OF CONTENTION
TO THE WHOLE EARTH!
I HAVE NEITHER
LENT ON USURY,
NOR MEN HAVE LENT TO ME
ON USURY;
YET EVERY ONE
OF THEM DOTH CURSE ME.
LOVE
