The lament “Woe is me, my mother” and the LORD’s word “I will strengthen you for good”
"내게 재앙이로다 나의 모친이여" 하는 탄식과 "너를 강하게 할 것이요" 하신 여호와의 말씀
Jeremiah 15:10–14: the speaker (“I”) says, “Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife, and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them curses me.” The LORD says, “Most certainly I will strengthen you for good. Most certainly I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and bronze? I will give your substance and your treasures for a plunder without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders. I will make them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which will burn on you.” No verse of 15:10–14 names the speaker, and 15:11 does not say to whom the LORD speaks. The Korean Revised Version reads at 15:11 너를 강하게 할 것이요 너로 복을 얻게 할 것이며 (I will strengthen you, and make you obtain good), where WEB reads “I will strengthen you for good”, and at 15:14 너로 네 대적과 함께 네가 알지 못하는 땅에 이르게 하리니 (I will make you come with your enemies into a land you do not know), where WEB reads “I will make them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know”.
