Read in context

Jeremiah 15:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. And the rest I will put to the sword in the presence of their enemies,” declares the LORD.

10 Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and conflict in all the land. I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.

11 The LORD said: “Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.

12 Can anyone smash iron— iron from the north—or bronze?

13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give up as plunder, without charge for all your sins within all your borders.
