Jeremiah 15:10

Young's Literal Translation (1862/1898)

Wo to me, my mother, For thou hast borne me a man of strife, And a man of contention to all the land, I have not lent on usury, Nor have they lent on usury to me -- All of them are reviling me.

And hide misery from mine eyes. 11 Why from the womb do I not die? From the belly I have come forth and gasp! 12 Wherefore have knees been before me? And what `are' breasts, that I suck? 13 For now, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept -- then there is rest to me, 14 With kings and counsellors of earth, These building wastes for themselves. 15 Or with princes -- they have gold, They are filling their houses `with' silver. 16 (Or as a hidden abortion I am not, As infants -- they have not seen light.) 17 There the wicked have ceased troubling, And there rest do the wearied in power. 18 Together prisoners have been at ease, They have not heard the voice of an exactor, 19 Small and great `are' there the same. And a servant `is' free from his lord. 20 Why giveth He to the miserable light, and life to the bitter soul? 21 Who are waiting for death, and it is not, And they seek it above hid treasures. 22 Who are glad -- unto joy, They rejoice when they find a grave. 23 To a man whose way hath been hidden, And whom God doth shut up? 24 For before my food, my sighing cometh, And poured out as waters `are' my roarings. 25 For a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was afraid of doth come to me. 26 I was not safe -- nor was I quiet -- Nor was I at rest -- and trouble cometh!
