Jeremiah 15:9
She that hath borne seven - She that hath had a numerous offspring; Jerusalem, the parent of so many cities, villages, and families in the land. Seven signifies a complete or full number.
7 And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land;
I will abereave them of children;
I will destroy My people,
Since they bdo not return from their ways.
I will abereave them of children;
I will destroy My people,
Since they bdo not return from their ways.
8 Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas;
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.
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.
9 “Shea languishes who has borne seven;
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.
She has breathed her last;

And the remnant of them I will deliver to the sword
Before their enemies,” says the Lord.
Jeremiah’s Dejection
10 aWoe is me, my mother,
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.
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.
11 The Lord said:
“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.
“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.
