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
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.
I will give as aplunder without price,
Because of all your sins,
Throughout your territories.
aInto a land which you do not know;
For a bfire is kindled in My anger,
Which shall burn upon you.”
| << Jeremiah 15:10 | Jeremiah 15:12 >> |
