Jeremiah 15:9-11
Common English Bible

9 The mother of seven
    will grow weak and gasp for air;
        her sun will set while it is yet day;
        she will be ashamed and disgraced.
    I will deliver the survivors to the sword,
    to the power of their enemies,
        declares the Lord.

10 I wish I had never been born! I have become a source of conflict and dissension in my own country. Even though I haven’t lent or borrowed, still everyone curses me.

11 The Lord said:
Haven’t I taken care of you?
    Haven’t I helped you with your enemies
        in time of trouble and distress?[a]

9 The mother of seven will grow faint(A)
    and breathe her last.(B)
Her sun will set while it is still day;

    a man with whom the whole land strives and contends!(G)
I have neither lent(H) nor borrowed,
    yet everyone curses(I) me.

“Surely I will deliver you(J) for a good purpose;
    surely I will make your enemies plead(K) with you
    in times of disaster and times of distress.
