Context of Jeremiah 15:14

12Will iron break? iron from the north? and bronze? 13Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, and in all thy borders; and I will make [them] to pass with thine enemies into a land that thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger; it shall burn upon you. 15Jehovah, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; in thy long-suffering take me not away: know that for thy sake I bear reproach. 16Thy words were found, and I did eat them, and thy words were unto me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.
