Jeremiah 15:10-12

Good News Translation

Jeremiah Complains to the Lord

¹⁰ What an unhappy man I am! Why did my mother bring me into the world? I have to quarrel and argue with everyone in the land. I have not lent any money or borrowed any; yet everyone curses me. ¹¹ Lord, may all their curses come true if I have not served^[a] you well, if I have not pleaded with you on behalf of my enemies when they were in trouble and distress. (¹² No one can break iron, especially the iron from the north that is mixed with bronze.)
