New International Version
3 [a]I am the man who has seen affliction(A)
by the rod of the Lord’s wrath.(B)
2 He has driven me away and made me walk
in darkness(C) rather than light;
3 indeed, he has turned his hand against me(D)
again and again, all day long.
4 He has made my skin and my flesh grow old(E)
and has broken my bones.(F)
5 He has besieged me and surrounded me
with bitterness(G) and hardship.(H)
6 He has made me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.(I)
7 He has walled me in so I cannot escape;(J)
he has weighed me down with chains.(K)
8 Even when I call out or cry for help,(L)
he shuts out my prayer.(M)
9 He has barred(N) my way with blocks of stone;
he has made my paths crooked.(O)
10 Like a bear lying in wait,
like a lion(P) in hiding,(Q)
11 he dragged me from the path and mangled(R) me
and left me without help.
12 He drew his bow(S)
and made me the target(T) for his arrows.(U)
13 He pierced(V) my heart
with arrows from his quiver.(W)
14 I became the laughingstock(X) of all my people;(Y)
they mock me in song(Z) all day long.
15 He has filled me with bitter herbs
and given me gall to drink.(AA)

New International Version
Jeremiah’s Complaint
7 You deceived[a](A) me, Lord, and I was deceived[b];
you overpowered(B) me and prevailed.
I am ridiculed(C) all day long;
everyone mocks(D) me.
8 Whenever I speak, I cry out
proclaiming violence and destruction.(E)
So the word of the Lord has brought me
insult and reproach(F) all day long.
9 But if I say, “I will not mention his word
or speak anymore in his name,”(G)
his word is in my heart like a fire,(H)
a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in;(I)
indeed, I cannot.
10 I hear many whispering,
“Terror(J) on every side!
Denounce(K) him! Let’s denounce him!”
All my friends(L)
are waiting for me to slip,(M) saying,
“Perhaps he will be deceived;
then we will prevail(N) over him
and take our revenge(O) on him.”
11 But the Lord(P) is with me like a mighty warrior;
so my persecutors(Q) will stumble and not prevail.(R)
They will fail and be thoroughly disgraced;(S)
their dishonor will never be forgotten.
12 Lord Almighty, you who examine the righteous
and probe the heart and mind,(T)
let me see your vengeance(U) on them,
for to you I have committed(V) my cause.
13 Sing(W) to the Lord!
Give praise to the Lord!
He rescues(X) the life of the needy
from the hands of the wicked.(Y)
14 Cursed be the day I was born!(Z)
May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!
15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news,
who made him very glad, saying,
“A child is born to you—a son!”
16 May that man be like the towns(AA)
the Lord overthrew without pity.
May he hear wailing(AB) in the morning,
a battle cry at noon.
17 For he did not kill me in the womb,(AC)
with my mother as my grave,
her womb enlarged forever.
18 Why did I ever come out of the womb(AD)
to see trouble(AE) and sorrow
and to end my days in shame?(AF)

New International Version
Jeremiah 15:10-21
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.
11 The Lord said,
“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?
13 “Your wealth(H) and your treasures
I will give as plunder,(I) without charge,(J)
because of all your sins
throughout your country.(K)
14 I will enslave you to your enemies
in[a] a land you do not know,(L)
for my anger will kindle a fire(M)
that will burn against you.”
15 Lord, you understand;
remember me and care for me.
Avenge me on my persecutors.(N)
You are long-suffering(O)—do not take me away;
think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.(P)
16 When your words came, I ate(Q) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(R)
for I bear your name,(S)
Lord God Almighty.
17 I never sat(T) in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand(U) was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?(V)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(W)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“If you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve(X) me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,
you will be my spokesman.(Y)
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
20 I will make you a wall(Z) to this people,
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome(AA) you,
for I am with you
to rescue and save you,”(AB)
declares the Lord.
21 “I will save(AC) you from the hands of the wicked(AD)
and deliver(AE) you from the grasp of the cruel.”(AF)

What can I say, now that Israel has been routed by its enemies? 9 The Canaanites and the other people of the country will hear about this and they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth.(C) What then will you do for your own great name?(D)”

Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant,(C) to the land you promised on oath(D) to their ancestors?(E) 13 Where can I get meat for all these people?(F) They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ 14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.(G) 15 If this is how you are going to treat me, please go ahead and kill me(H)—if I have found favor in your eyes—and do not let me face my own ruin.”
