Jeremiah 15:10-14

10I said, “Oh, mother, how I regret that you ever gave birth to me! I am always starting arguments and quarrels with the people of this land. I have not lent money to anyone and I have not borrowed from anyone. Yet all of these people are treating me with contempt.”

11The Lord said, “Jerusalem, I will surely send you away for your own good. I will surely bring the enemy upon you in a time of trouble and distress.

12Can you people who are like iron and bronze break that iron fist from the north?

13I will give away your wealth and your treasures as plunder. I will give it away free of charge for the sins you have committed throughout your land.

14I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you know nothing about. For my anger is like a fire that will burn against you.”
