Jeremiah 15:10-12

New International Version

¹⁰ Alas, my mother, that you gave me birth,^(A)
    a man with whom the whole land strives and contends!^(B)
I have neither lent^(C) nor borrowed,
    yet everyone curses^(D) me.

“Surely I will deliver you^(E) for a good purpose;
    surely I will make your enemies plead^(F) with you
    in times of disaster and times of distress.

¹² “Can a man break iron—
    iron from the north^(G)—or bronze?
