jeremiah 15:9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

9. borne seven-- (1Sa 2:5). Seven being the perfect number indicates full fruitfulness.

she . . . ashamed--The mothers (she being collective) are put to the shame of disappointed hopes through the loss of all their children.

jeremiah 15:9 "She who bore seven [sons] pines away; Her breathing is labored. Her sun has set while it was yet day; She has been shamed and humiliated. So I shall give over their survivors to the sword Before their enemies," declares the LORD.
