9 “Shea languishes who has borne seven;

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.

“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.
“Surely it will be well with your remnant;
Surely I will cause athe enemy to intercede with you
