Jeremiah 15:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

You have turned away from me.
    You continue to go further away from me.
So I will prepare to use my power to destroy you.
    I can no longer be kind to you.
⁷ I will punish the people of every town in the land.
    I will blow them away,
    like wind blows away straw.
My people have refused to change the way that they live.
    So I will destroy them and their children too.
⁸ There will be more widows in Judah,
    than there is sand on the shore of the sea.
At midday I will send an enemy to destroy the young men.
    Their mothers will weep for them.
It will happen very suddenly.
    Fear and terror will come!
