14 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.”

    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.

    Your words were a delight to me
        and the joy of my heart.
    For I am called by Your Name,
        Adonai-Elohei-Tzva’ot.
