Jeremiah 15:10

Woe 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; yet every one of them doth curse me.

(; , etc.) Jeremiah seems to have been of a peculiarly sensitive temperament; yet the Holy Spirit enabled him to deliver his message at the certain cost of having his sensitiveness wounded by the enmities of those whom his words offended.

A man of strife - exposed to strifes on the part of "the whole earth" ().

I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury - proverbial for, 'I have given no cause for strife against me.'
