Read in context

Jeremiah 15:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

14 Then I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.”
