Jeremiah 15:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ The enemy will attack with swords and kill the people.
    They will kill the survivors from Judah.
A woman with seven children will lose them.
    She will cry until she becomes weak and struggles to breathe.
She will be upset and confused,
    because her bright day has become dark.”
This message is from the Lord.

¹⁰ Mother, I am sorry
    that you gave birth to me.
I am the one who must accuse
    and criticize the whole land.
I have not loaned or borrowed anything,
    but everyone curses me.
¹¹ Surely, Lord, I have served you well.
    In times of disaster and trouble,
    I prayed to you about my enemies.
