In context

5Who will spare thee, O Jerusalem? and who will fear for thee? or who will turn back to ask for thy welfare?

6Thou hast turned away from me, saith the Lord, thou wilt go back: therefore I will stretch out my hand, and will destroy thee, and will no more spare them.

— Jeremiah 15:7 —

8Their widows have been multiplied more than the sand of the sea: I have brought young men against the mother, even distress at noonday: I have suddenly cast upon her trembling and anxiety.

9She that bore seven is spent; her soul has fainted under trouble; her sun is gone down while it is yet noon; she is ashamed and disgraced: I will give the remnant of them to the sword before their enemies.
