The Lord Will Not Relent

1 Then the Lord said to me, a“Even if bMoses and cSamuel stood before Me, My mind would not be favorable toward this people. Cast them out of My sight, and let them go forth.  
2 And it shall be, if they say to you, ‘Where should we go?’ then you shall tell them, ‘Thus says the Lord:
a“Such as are for death, to death;
And such as are for the sword, to the sword;
And such as are for the famine, to the famine;
And such as are for the bcaptivity, to the captivity.” ’  
3 “And I will aappoint over them four forms of destruction,” says the Lord: “the sword to slay, the dogs to drag, bthe birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.  
4 I will hand them over to atrouble, to all kingdoms of the earth, because of bManasseh the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for what he did in Jerusalem. 
5 “For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem?
Or who will bemoan you?
Or who will turn aside to ask how you are doing?
6 aYou have forsaken Me,” says the Lord,
“You have bgone backward.
Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you;
cI am1 weary of relenting!

Jeremiah 15:2

Whither shall we go forth? - Such as are for death, to death - Some shall be destroyed by the pestilence, here termed death. See Jeremiah 18:21. Others shall be slain by the sword in battle, and in the sackage of cities. Others shall perish by famine, shall be starved to death through the mere want of the necessaries of life; and the rest shall go into captivity. There shall be different sorts of punishments inflicted on them according to the nature of their transgressions. Some shall be punished in one way, and some in another.
