5“Who do you think will feel sorry for you, Jerusalem?

Who do you think will waste tears on you?

Who will bother to take the time to ask,

‘So, how are things going?’

6–9“You left me, remember?” God’s Decree.

“You turned your back and walked out.

So I will grab you and hit you hard.

I’m tired of letting you off the hook.

“Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem,

or who will grieve for you?

Who will turn aside

to ask about your welfare?

You have rejected me, declares the Lord;

you keep going backward,

so I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you—

I am weary of relenting.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

So I will reach out and destroy you;

I am tired of holding back.

Who will turn aside

so I have stretched out my hand against you

and destroyed you.

I am tired of showing compassion.

and turned your back on me,”

says the Lord.

I am tired of always giving you another chance.

or who will show sympathy to you,

and I have destroyed you.

I am tired of becoming remorseful.

KJV 1900King James Version

For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest? 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.
