Jeremiah’s Complaint

10 Woe is me, my mother,
that you gave birth to me,(A)
a man who incites dispute and conflict
in all the land.
I did not lend or borrow,
yet everyone curses me.(B)

The Lord’s Response

11 The Lord said:

I will certainly set you free and care for you.[a]
I will certainly intercede for you
in a time of trouble,
in your time of distress, with the enemy.
12 Can anyone smash iron,
iron from the north, or bronze?
