Jeremiah 15:12
King James Version
“Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?”
Context
9She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
10Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; every one of them doth curse me.
11The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
13Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
14And I will make to pass with thine enemies into a land thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, shall burn upon you.
15O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
