Bible. Jeremiah
24:015:002 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.
24:015:003 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.
24:015:004 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.
24:015:005 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall
bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
24:015:006 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward:
therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy
thee; I am weary with repenting.
24:015:007 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.
24:015:008 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.
24:015:009 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.
24:015:010 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.
24:015:011 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant;
verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time
of evil and in the time of affliction.
24:015:012 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
24:015:013 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil
without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy
borders.
24:015:014 And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land
which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger,
which shall burn upon you.
24:015:015 O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge
me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering:
know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
