*
Woe is me ,
my mother ,
That you have borne me ,
A man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth !
I have neither lent for interest ,
Nor have men lent to me for interest .
Every one of them curses me .
*
The LORD said : "
Surely it will be well with your remnant ;
Surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction .
*
Can anyone break iron ,
The northern iron and the bronze ?
*
Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder without price ,
Because of all your sins ,
Throughout your territories .
*
And I will make you cross over with your enemies Into a land which you do not know ;
For a fire is kindled in My anger ,
Which shall burn upon you ."
*
O LORD ,
You know ;
Remember me and visit me ,
And take vengeance for me on my persecutors .
In Your enduring patience ,
do not take me away .
Know that for Your sake I have suffered rebuke .
*
Your words were found ,
and I ate them ,
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart ;
For I am called by Your name ,
O LORD God of hosts .
*
I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers ,
Nor did I rejoice ;
I sat alone because of Your hand ,
For You have filled me with indignation .
*
Why is my pain perpetual And my wound incurable ,
Which refuses to be healed ?
Will You surely be to me like an unreliable stream ,
As waters that fail ?
*
Therefore thus says the LORD : "
If you return ,
Then I will bring you back ;
You shall stand before Me ;
If you take out the precious from the vile ,
You shall be as My mouth .
Let them return to you ,
But you must not return to them .
*
And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall ;
And they will fight against you ,
But they shall not prevail against you ;
For I am with you to save you And deliver you ,"
says the LORD .
* "
I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked ,
And I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible ."
