Jeremiah 15:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ “Who will feel sorry for you, Jerusalem?
    Who will be sad and cry for you?
    Who will go out of his way to ask how you are?
⁶ Jerusalem, you have left me,” says the Lord.
    “You keep going farther and farther away.
So I will take hold of you and destroy you.
    I am tired of holding back my anger.
⁷ I will separate the people of Judah with my pitchfork.
    I will scatter them at the city gates of the land.
My people haven’t changed their ways.
    So I will destroy them.
    I will take away their children.
