Jeremiah 15:15-18
Expanded Bible
15 Lord, you ·understand [L know].
Remember me and take care of me.
·Punish for me [Avenge me on] those who are ·hurting [persecuting; pursuing] me.
Don’t ·destroy [snatch] me while you remain patient with them.
Think about the ·shame [reproaches] I ·suffer [endure] for you.
16 Your words ·came to me [L were found], and I ·listened carefully to [L ate] them.
Your words made me very happy
and were the delight of my heart,
because I am called by your name,
Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts].
17 I never sat with the ·crowd
as they laughed [L crowd of merrymakers/revelers] and ·had fun [L I did not rejoice].
I sat by ·myself [alone], ·because you were there [L from before your hand/power],
and you filled me with anger [C at the evil people around him].
18 ·I don’t understand why my pain has [L Why does my pain have…?] no end.
·I don’t understand why my injury is not cured or healed [L My wound is uncurable and refuses to be healed].
Will you be like a ·brook that goes dry [L deceitful brook]?
Will you be like a ·spring that stops flowing [L unreliable spring]?
Jeremiah 15:15-18
New International Version
Jeremiah 15:15-18
New International Version
15 Lord, you understand;
remember me and care for me.
Avenge me on my persecutors.(A)
You are long-suffering(B)—do not take me away;
think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.(C)
16 When your words came, I ate(D) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(E)
for I bear your name,(F)
Lord God Almighty.
17 I never sat(G) in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand(H) was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?(I)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(J)
