English Standard Version

Jeremiah's Complaint

^10 (A)Woe is me, my mother, that you bore me, a man of strife and contention to the whole land! ^(B)I have not lent, nor have I borrowed, yet all of them curse me. ¹¹ The Lord said, “Have I not^[a] set you free for their good? Have I not pleaded for you before the enemy in the time of trouble and in the time of distress? ¹² Can one break iron, iron ^(C)from the north, and bronze?

^13 (D)“Your wealth and your treasures I will give as ^(E)spoil, without price, for all your sins, throughout all your territory. ¹⁴ I will make you serve your enemies ^(F)in a land that you do not know, ^(G)for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn forever.”
