Jeremiah 15:15-18

View Full Chapter

15LORD, you understand; remember me and care for me. Avenge me on my persecutors. You are long-suffering—do not take me away; think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.

16When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty.

17I never sat in the company of revelers, never made merry with them; I sat alone because your hand was on me and you had filled me with indignation.

18Why is my pain unending and my wound grievous and incurable? You are to me like a deceptive brook, like a spring that fails.
