5 Who will have pity on you, Jerusalem?u

Who will show sympathy toward you?v

Who will turn aside

to ask about your well-being?

6 You have left me.”w

This is the Lord’s declaration.

“You have turned your back,

so I have stretched out my hand against you

and destroyed you.

I am tiredx of showing compassion.

7 I scattered them with a winnowing fork

at the city gates of the land.

I made them childless; I destroyed my people.

They would not turn from their ways.y
