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.
KJV
Væ mihi, mater mea ! quare genuisti me, virum rixæ, virum discordiæ in universa terra ? Non fœneravi, nec fœneravit mihi quisquam : omnes maledicunt mihi.
Vulgate
Οἴμοι ἐγώ, μῆτερ, ὡς τίνα με ἔτεκες; ἄνδρα δικαζόμενον καὶ διακρινόμενον ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ· οὔτε ὠφέλησα, οὔτε ὠφέλησέν με οὐδείς· ἡ ἰσχύς μου ἐξέλιπεν ἐν τοῖς καταρωμένοις με.
LXX
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 not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet every one of them doth curse me.
