Jeremiah 15:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ Mother, I am sorry that you gave birth to me
    since I must accuse and criticize the whole land.
I have not loaned or borrowed anything,
    but everyone curses me.
¹¹ The Lord said,
    “I have saved you for a good reason.
I have made your enemies beg you
    in times of disaster and trouble.
¹² No one can smash a piece of iron or bronze
    that comes from the north.
