Jeremiah 15:8-10
Easy-to-Read Version
8 Many women will lose their husbands.
There will be more widows than there is sand in the sea.
I will bring a destroyer at noontime.
The destroyer will attack the mothers of the young men of Judah.
I will bring pain and fear on the people of Judah.
I will make this happen very quickly.
9 The enemy will attack with swords and kill the people.
They will kill the survivors from Judah.
A woman with seven children will lose them.
She will cry until she becomes weak and struggles to breathe.
She will be upset and confused,
because her bright day has become dark.”
This message is from the Lord.
Jeremiah Complains to God Again
10 Mother, I am sorry
that you gave birth to me.
I am the one who must accuse
and criticize the whole land.
I have not loaned or borrowed anything,
but everyone curses me.
Jeremiah 15:8-10
New International Version
8 I will make their widows(A) more numerous
than the sand of the sea.
At midday I will bring a destroyer(B)
against the mothers of their young men;
suddenly I will bring down on them
anguish and terror.(C)
9 The mother of seven will grow faint(D)
and breathe her last.(E)
Her sun will set while it is still day;
she will be disgraced(F) and humiliated.
I will put the survivors to the sword(G)
before their enemies,”(H)
declares the Lord.
