Even if Moses and Samuel stood before God, His soul would not turn toward this people. Who will pity Jerusalem? You have forsaken the LORD. God will winnow them with a winnowing fork; their widows will multiply. Jeremiah laments being born as a man of strife. God promises to make him like a bronze wall; He will deliver him from the wicked.
