10. Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne meas a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth!I have not lent with usury, nor have men lent to me on usury,yet every one of them curses me!
11. The Lord said: Truly I will set you free for good purposes.Truly I will cause the enemy to entreat youin the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
12. Can anyone break the northern ironor the bronze?
13. Your wealth and your treasuresI will give to the destroyer without price,and that for all your sins,even within all your borders.
