Or who will bemoan you?
Or who will turn aside to ask how you are doing?
“You have bgone backward.
Therefore I will stretch out My hand against you and destroy you;
cI am1 weary of relenting!
I will abereave them of children;
I will destroy My people,
Since they bdo not return from their ways.
I will bring against them,
Against the mother of the young men,
A plunderer at noonday;
I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them asuddenly.
She has breathed her last;
bHer sun has gone down
While it was yet day;
She has been ashamed and confounded.
And the remnant of them I will deliver to the sword
Before their enemies,” says the Lord.
Jeremiah’s Dejection
That you have borne me,
A man of strife and a man of contention to the whole1 earth!
I have neither lent for interest,
Nor have men lent to me for interest.
Every one of them curses me.
“Surely it will be well with your remnant;
Surely I will cause athe enemy to intercede with you
In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction.

Jeremiah 15:7
A fan - Not a purging fan by affliction, to separate their chaff and dross from them, but a scattering fan. In the gates - This is added in pursuit of the metaphor of fanning, men usually chusing barn - doors to fan at, that they may have the advantage of the wind.
