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.
¡Ay de mí, madre mía! ¿Por qué me diste a luz como un hombre de contienda y discordia para toda la tierra? No he prestado dinero con interés, ni nadie me ha prestado a mí con interés, pero todos me maldicen.
Jeremías lamenta haber nacido para ser fuente de conflicto, siendo maldecido por todos a pesar de no haber hecho mal a nadie.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This is Jeremiah's personal lament during his prophetic ministry in Judah before the Babylonian exile (around 627-586 BC). As God's messenger, Jeremiah constantly delivered unpopular warnings about coming judgment, making him deeply hated by his own people. The reference to lending and usury reflects that dishonest financial practices were common sins of his time, but Jeremiah maintained his integrity even while facing universal rejection.
