Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent for interest, nor men have lent to me for interest; yet everyone of them does curse me.
All Commentaries on Jeremiah 15:10 Go To Jeremiah 15
George Leo Haydock

Strife. Jeremias was under continual persecution, (Menochius) yet ceased not to reprimand the wicked. (Haydock)
Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit. (Cicero)
Usury. Such people are exposed to contention. (Menochius)
