Jeremiah 15:11-21
11The LordH3068 saidH559, “I will certainlyH518H3808 1setH8281 you freeH8281 for purposes of goodH2896; I will certainlyH518H3808 make the 2enemyH340 pleadH6293 with you In a timeH6256 of disasterH7463 and a timeH6256 of distressH6869.
12“Can anyone smashH7489 ironH1270, 3IronH1270 from the northH6828, or bronzeH5178?13I will giveH5414 your 4wealthH2428 and your treasuresH214 As plunderH957 5withoutH3808 costH4242, For allH3605 your sinsH2403 And within allH3605 your bordersH1366.14Then I will make your enemiesH340 bringH5674 your possessions Into a 6landH776 that you do not knowH3045; For a 7fireH784 has beenH6919 kindledH6919 in My angerH639, And it will burnH3344 upon you.”
158You knowH3045, LordH3068; RememberH2142 me, takeH6485 noticeH6485 of me, And 9takeH5358 vengeanceH5358 for me on my persecutorsH7291. Do not, in view of Your patienceH750, takeH3947 me away; KnowH3045 that 10forH5921 Your sakeH5921 I endureH5375 reproachH2781.16Your wordsH1697 were foundH4672 and I 11ateH398 them, And Your 12wordsH1697 becameH1961 a joyH8342 to me and the delightH8057 of my heartH3824; For I have been 13calledH7121 by Your nameH8034, LordH3068 GodH430 of armiesH6635.17I 14did not sitH3427 in a circleH5475 of revelersH7832 and celebrateH5937. BecauseH4480H6440 of Your handH3027 upon me I satH3427 15aloneH910, For You 16filledH4390 me with indignationH2195.18WhyH4100 has my painH3511 beenH1961 endlessH5331 And my 17woundH4347 incurableH605, refusingH3985 to be healedH7495? Will You indeedH1961 be to me 18likeH3644 a deceptiveH391 stream With waterH4325 that is unreliableH539H3808?
19ThereforeH3651, thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “19IfH518 you returnH7725, then I will restoreH7725 you-- 20You will standH5975 beforeH6440 Me; And 21ifH518 you extractH3318 the preciousH3368 from the worthlessH2151, You will becomeH1961 22My spokesmanH6310. They, for their partH1992, may turnH7725 to you, But as for you, you are not to turnH7725 to them.20Then I will 23makeH5414 you to thisH2088 peopleH5971 A fortifiedH1219 wallH2346 of bronzeH5178; And though they fightH3898 againstH413 you, They will not prevailH3201 over you; For 24I am with you to saveH3467 you And rescueH5337 you,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.21“So I will 25rescueH5337 you from the handH3027 of the wickedH7451, And I will 26redeemH6299 you from the 27graspH3709 of the violentH6184.”
