Context of Jeremiah 15:14

12Can anyone smash iron— iron and bronze from the north? 13Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder without cost, for all your sins, in all your borders. I will take you away with your enemies into a land you do not know, for a fire is kindled in My nostril, which will burn against you.” 15Adonai, you know. Remember me and think of me. Avenge me against my persecutors. Because of Your long-suffering, do not take me away. Know that for Your sake I endure scorn. 16Your words were found, so I ate them. Your words were a delight to me and the joy of my heart. For I am called by Your Name, Adonai-Elohei-Tzva’ot.
