Jeremiah 15:8-10

New Century Version

⁸ There are more widows than grains of sand in the sea.
I brought a destroyer at noontime
    against the mothers of the young men of Judah.
I suddenly brought pain and fear
    on the people of Judah.
⁹ When the enemy attacked, a woman with seven sons felt faint because they would all die.
    She became weak and unable to breathe.
Her bright day became dark from sadness.
    She felt shame and disgrace.
And everyone else left alive in Judah
    I will hand over to the enemies, too!” says the Lord.

¹⁰ Mother, I am sorry that you gave birth to me
    since I must accuse and criticize the whole land.
I have not loaned or borrowed anything,
    but everyone curses me.
