Jeremiah 15:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Jeremiah’s Complaint
10 Woe to me, my mother, that you gave me birth!
a man of strife and contention to all the land!
I neither borrow nor lend,
yet everyone curses me.(A)
11 Tell me, Lord, have I not served you for their good?
Have I not interceded with you
in time of misfortune and anguish?(B)
12 Can one break iron,
iron from the north, and bronze?
