Jeremiah 15:9

Languisheth! she who had given birth to seven, She hath breathed out her life Her sun hath gone in, while yet it was day, She hath turned pale and hath turned red,—And the remnant of them, to the sword, will I deliver before their enemies, Declareth Yahweh.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.

10Woe to me! my mother, That thou didst bear me, A man of litigation and a man of contention to all the land,—I have not lent on interest Nor have they lent on interest to me, Every one, hath treated me with contempt.
