8 Their widows will be increased to Me more than the sand of the seas;
I will bring against them,
Against the mother of the young men,
A plunderer at noonday;
I will cause anguish and terror to fall on them asuddenly.

9 “Shea languishes who has borne seven;
She has breathed her last;
bHer sun has gone down
While it was yet day;
She has been ashamed and confounded.
And the remnant of them I will deliver to the sword
Before their enemies,” says the Lord.

Jeremiah’s Dejection
10 aWoe is me, my mother,
That you have borne me,
A man of strife and a man of contention to the whole1 earth!
I have neither lent for interest,
Nor have men lent to me for interest.
Every one of them curses me.
That you have borne me,
A man of strife and a man of contention to the whole1 earth!
I have neither lent for interest,
Nor have men lent to me for interest.
Every one of them curses me.
11 The Lord said:
“Surely it will be well with your remnant;
Surely I will cause athe enemy to intercede with you
In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction.

13 Your wealth and your treasures
I will give as aplunder without price,
Because of all your sins,
Throughout your territories.

Which shall burn upon you.”

And bYour word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.

17 aI 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.

18 Why is my apain perpetual
And my wound incurable,
Which refuses to be healed?
Will You surely be to me blike an unreliable stream,
As waters that1 fail?
And my wound incurable,
Which refuses to be healed?

As waters that1 fail?
The Lord Reassures Jeremiah
19 Therefore thus says the Lord:
a“If you return,
Then I will bring you back;
You shall bstand before Me;
If you ctake out the precious from the vile,
You shall be as My mouth.
Let them return to you,
But you must not return to them.
a“If you return,
Then I will bring you back;
You shall bstand before Me;
If you ctake out the precious from the vile,
You shall be as My mouth.
Let them return to you,
But you must not return to them.
20 And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze awall;
And they will fight against you,
But bthey shall not prevail against you;
For I am with you to save you
And deliver you,” says the Lord.
And they will fight against you,
But bthey shall not prevail against you;
For I am with you to save you
And deliver you,” says the Lord.
21 “I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked,
And I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible.”
And I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible.”
