## Jeremiah 15:8-9 in Context (Verses 5–12 KJV)
 
 [5 ](/kjv/jeremiah/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?*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/jeremiah/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.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/jeremiah/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.*
 
 [8 ](/kjv/jeremiah/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.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/jeremiah/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.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/jeremiah/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.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/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.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/15/12) Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
 
[Jeremiah 14](/kjv/jeremiah/14) [Jeremiah 16](/kjv/jeremiah/16)
