I will winnow them with a winnowing fork at the city gates of the land. I will bring bereavement and destruction on my people, for they have not changed their ways.

I will stand at the city gates of the land. I will separate the straw from the grain. I will destroy my people. I will bring great sorrow on them. They have not changed their ways.

The LORD continued,“ In every town in the land I will purge them like straw blown away by the wind. I will destroy my people. I will kill off their children. I will do so because they did not change their behavior.

For after all this punishment, the people will still not repent. They will not seek the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never ending fire.”

You will toss them into the air, and the wind will blow them all away; a whirlwind will scatter them. Then you will rejoice in the Lord. You will glory in the Holy One of Israel.

Foreigners will come and winnow her, blowing her away as chaff. They will come from every side to rise against her in her day of trouble.

So let their children starve! Let them die by the sword! Let their wives become childless widows. Let their old men die in a plague, and let their young men be killed in battle!

Lord, you are searching for honesty. You struck your people, but they paid no attention. You crushed them, but they refused to be corrected. They are determined, with faces set like stone; they have refused to repent.

Even if you do have children who grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone.I have watched Israel become as beautiful as Tyre. But now Israel will bring out her children for slaughter.”O Lord, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don’t give birth and breasts that give no milk.The Lord says,“ All their wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels.The people of Israel are struck down. Their roots are dried up, and they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children.”My God will reject the people of Israel because they will not listen or obey. They will be wanderers, homeless among the nations.

But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.

“ Jeremiah, say to the people,‘ This is what the Lord says:“‘ When people fall down, don’t they get up again? When they discover they’re on the wrong road, don’t they turn back?Then why do these people stay on their self destructive path? Why do the people of Jerusalem refuse to turn back? They cling tightly to their lies and will not turn around.

Don’t be like your ancestors who would not listen or pay attention when the earlier prophets said to them,‘ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Turn from your evil ways, and stop all your evil practices.’

Then the Lord said to me,“ Son of man, on the day I take away their stronghold— their joy and glory, their heart’s desire, their dearest treasure— I will also take away their sons and daughters.

The time is coming when the Lord will say to the people of Jerusalem,“ My dear people, a burning wind is blowing in from the desert, and it’s not a gentle breeze useful for winnowing grain.It is a roaring blast sent by me! Now I will pronounce your destruction!”

“ I sent plagues on you like the plagues I sent on Egypt long ago. I killed your young men in war and led all your horses away. The stench of death filled the air! But still you would not return to me,” says the Lord.“ I destroyed some of your cities, as I destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Those of you who survived were like charred sticks pulled from a fire. But still you would not return to me,” says the Lord.“ Therefore, I will bring upon you all the disasters I have announced. Prepare to meet your God in judgment, you people of Israel!”

You will have sons and daughters, but you will lose them, for they will be led away into captivity.

and I was told to give this message to the people of Israel. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will defile my Temple, the source of your security and pride, the place your heart delights in. Your sons and daughters whom you left behind in Judah will be slaughtered by the sword.

Your children and your crops will be cursed. The offspring of your herds and flocks will be cursed.

You will watch as your sons and daughters are taken away as slaves. Your heart will break for them, but you won’t be able to help them.

For death has crept in through our windows and has entered our mansions. It has killed off the flower of our youth: Children no longer play in the streets, and young men no longer gather in the squares.

“ The siege and terrible distress of the enemy’s attack will be so severe that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters, whom the Lord your God has given you.The most tenderhearted man among you will have no compassion for his own brother, his beloved wife, and his surviving children.He will refuse to share with them the flesh he is devouring— the flesh of one of his own children— because he has nothing else to eat during the siege and terrible distress that your enemy will inflict on all your towns.The most tender and delicate woman among you— so delicate she would not so much as touch the ground with her foot— will be selfish toward the husband she loves and toward her own son or daughter.
