Jeremiah 15:15-21

15YouH859 understandH3045, O LORDH3068; remember meH2142 and attend to meH6485. Avenge meH5358 against my persecutorsH7291. In Your patienceH750 H639, do notH408 take me awayH3947. Know thatH3045 I endureH5375 reproachH2781 for Your honorH5921.16Your wordsH1697 were foundH4672, and I ate themH398. Your wordsH1697 becameH1961 my joyH8342 and my heart’sH3824 delightH8057. ForH3588 I bearH7121 Your nameH8034 H5921, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of HostsH6635.17I neverH3808 satH3427 with the bandH5475 of revelersH7832, nor did I celebrate with themH5937. BecauseH6440 Your hand was on meH3027, I satH3427 aloneH910, forH3588 You have filled meH4390 with indignationH2195.18WhyH4100 isH1961 my painH3511 unendingH5331, and my woundH4347 incurableH605, refusingH3985 to be healedH7495? You have indeed becomeH1961 likeH3644 a mirageH391 to me— waterH4325 that is notH3808 thereH539.

19ThereforeH3651 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

“IfH518 you returnH7725, I will restore youH7725;you will standH5975 in My presenceH6440.And ifH518 you speakH3318 words that are nobleH3368 instead of worthlessH2151,you will beH1961 My spokesmanH6310.It is theyH1992 who must turnH7725 to youH413,but youH859 must notH3808 turnH7725 to themH413.20Then I will make youH5414 a wallH2346 to thisH2088 peopleH5971,a fortified wallH1219 of bronzeH5178;they will fightH3898 against youH413but will notH3808 overcomeH3201 you,forH3588 IH589 am with youH854 to saveH3467 and deliver youH5337,declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.21I will deliver youH5337 from the handH3027 of the wickedH7451and redeem youH6299 from the graspH3709 of the ruthlessH6184.”
