10 Woe to me, O my mother, that you gave birth to me, a man of contention and quarreling to the whole land. I have not lent out and I have not borrowed. All of them are cursing me.
11 Yahweh said, “Surely I will set you free to be good for you, surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you in a time of trouble, and in a time of distress.
12 Can anyone break iron, iron from the north, or bronze?
13 I will give your wealth and your treasures as plunder without price, even because of all your sins, and throughout all your territories.
14 And I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for a fire will kindle in my anger. Upon you it will be kindled.”
15 You who know, O Yahweh, remember me, and attend to me, and take revenge for me against my persecutors in your forbearance. You must take me away. Know that I am carrying disgrace because of you.
16 Your words were found and I ate them, and your words became to me as jubilation, even as the joy of my heart, for your name is called on me, O Yahweh God of hosts.
