Jeremiah 15:15-21
151You who knowH3045, O LordH3068, RememberH2142 me, takeH6485 noticeH6485 of me, And 2takeH5358 vengeanceH5358 for me on my persecutorsH7291. Do not, in view of Your patienceH750, takeH3947 me away; KnowH3045 that 3for Your sakeH5921 I endureH5375 reproachH2781.16Your wordsH1697 were foundH4672 and I 4ateH398 them, And Your 5wordsH1697 becameH1961 for me a joyH8342 and the delightH8057 of my heartH3824; For I have been 6calledH7121 by Your nameH8034, O LordH3068 GodH430 of hostsH6635.17I 7did not sitH3427 in the circleH5475 of merrymakersH7832, NorH3808 did I exultH5937. BecauseH4480H6440 of Your handH3027 upon me I satH3427 8aloneH910, For You 9filledH4390 me with indignationH2195.18WhyH4100 has my painH3511 beenH1961 perpetualH5331 And my 10woundH4347 incurableH605, refusingH3985 to be healedH7495? Will You indeedH1961 be to me 11likeH3644 a deceptiveH391 stream With waterH4325 that is unreliableH539H3808?
19ThereforeH3651, thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “12IfH518 you returnH7725, then I will restoreH7725 you-- 13BeforeH6440 Me you will standH5975; And 14ifH518 you extractH3318 the preciousH3368 from the worthlessH2151, You will becomeH1961 15My spokesmanH6310. They for their partH1992 may turnH7725 to you, But as for you, you must not turnH7725 to them.20Then I will 16makeH5414 you to thisH2088 peopleH5971 A fortifiedH1219 wallH2346 of bronzeH5178; And though they fightH3898 againstH413 you, They will not prevailH3201 over you; For 17I am with you to saveH3467 you And deliverH5337 you,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.21“So I will 18deliverH5337 you from the handH3027 of the wickedH7451, And I will 19redeemH6299 you from the 20graspH3709 of the violentH6184.”
