Jeremiah 15:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 Their widows[a] will be more numerous before me than the sand of the seas.
I have brought to them, against the mothers[b] of young men,[c]
a destroyer at noon.
I will suddenly drop on her anguish and horror.[d]
9 She who gave birth to seven has withered away.
She gasps her breath.
Her sun set[e] while still day.
She has been put to shame and disgraced.
And the remainder of them I will give to the sword
before[f] their enemies,” declares[g] Yahweh.
Jeremiah’s Lament and Yahweh’s Response
10 Woe to me, O my mother, that you gave birth to me,
a man of contention and quarreling to the whole land.[h]
I have not lent out and I have not borrowed.[i]
All of them are cursing me.
