You have left me,” declares the Lord.
“You have turned your back on me.
So I will use my power against you and destroy you.
I’m tired of showing compassion to you.

“I will separate them with a winnowing [a] shovel at the city gates.
I will make them childless.
I will destroy my people because they will not change their ways.
Their widows will be more numerous
than the grains of sand on the seashore.
At noontime I will send a destroyer against the mothers of young men.
I will suddenly bring anguish and terror to them.
