Jeremiah 15:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ The enemy will attack.
    I will still hand over to the killers those who are left alive from Judah.
A woman might have seven sons, but they will all die.
    She will cry until she becomes weak and unable to breathe.
She will be upset and confused.
    Her bright day will become dark from sadness!” says 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 The Lord said,
    “I will save you for a good reason.
I will make your enemies beg you
    in times of disaster and trouble.
