15:1 Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses
and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of
my sight, and let them go forth.
15:2 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.
15:3 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.
15:4 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.
15:5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who
shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
15:6 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.
15:7 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.
15:8 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.
15:9 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.
15:10 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.
15:11 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.
15:12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
15:13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I
give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
15:14 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.
15:15 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.
15:16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and
rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
15:17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy
hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
15:18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt
thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
15:19 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou
return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take
forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee;
but return not thou unto them.
15:20 And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight
against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and
to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
15:21 And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of
the hand of the terrible.
