Jeremiah 15:10-13
Living Bible
10 Then Jeremiah said, “What sadness is mine, my mother; oh, that I had died at birth. For I am hated everywhere I go. I am neither a creditor soon to foreclose nor a debtor refusing to pay—yet they all curse me. 11 Well, let them curse! Lord, you know how I have pled with you on their behalf—how I have begged you to spare these enemies of mine.”
12-13 Can a man break bars of northern iron or bronze? This people’s stubborn will can’t be broken either. So, because of all your sins against me, I will deliver your wealth and treasures as loot to the enemy.

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.
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?
