Jeremiah Complains Again and Is Reassured
10 Woe is me, my mother, that you bore me, a man of strife and contention to the whole land! I have not lent, nor have I borrowed, yet all of them curse me. 11 So let it be, O Lord,[a] if I have not entreated[b] thee for their good, if I have not pleaded with thee on behalf of the enemy in the time of trouble and in the time of distress! 12 Can one break iron, iron from the north, and bronze?

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?
