Who will mourn?

5For who will have compassion on you, Jerusalem? And who will mourn for you? And who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?

6You have forsaken me, declares Yahweh; you keep going backward. So I have stretched out my hand against you and destroyed you; I am weary of relenting.

7I winnowed them with a winnowing fork at the gates of the land; I bereaved, I destroyed my people; they did not turn back from their ways.

8Their widows have become more numerous to me than the sand of the seas. I have brought against them, against the mother of a young man, a destroyer at noon; I have suddenly made city and terrors fall upon her.

9She who bore seven has withered away; she has breathed out her life. Her sun has gone down while it was still day. She is ashamed and humiliated. And the remnant of them I will give to the sword before their enemies, declares Yahweh.
