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?

Jeremiah 15:1

Though Moses and Samuel - Moses had often supplicated for the people; and in consequence they were spared. See Exodus 32:11 and following verses, Numbers 14:13. Samuel also had prayed for the people, and God heard him, I Samuel 7:9; but if these or the most holy men were now to supplicate for this people, he would not spare them.

Cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth - Do not bring them into my presence by your prayers; let them go forth into captivity.
