Jeremiah 15:15-18

15‘Lord, you understand my problems. Remember me and take care of me. Please punish those people who hate me. Do not be so patient with them that they kill me. Remember that they have insulted me because I am serving you.

16As your words came to me, I took them into me like sweet food. I belong to you, Lord, God Almighty, so your words made me very happy.

17When people were enjoying wild parties, I did not join with them. I sat alone, because you held me. You caused me to be angry with those people.

18I am in pain which never ends. People have hurt me and nothing makes it better. Why are you not there to help me? You are like a stream that becomes dry and it has no water.’
