Jeremiah 15:15-21
Common English Bible
15 You understand, Lord!
Remember me and act on my behalf.
Bring judgment on those who torment me.
In your mercy, spare my life.[a]
Consider how I’m insulted on your account.
16 When your words turned up, I feasted on them;
and they became my joy, the delight of my heart,
because I belong to you,
Lord God of heavenly forces.
17 I didn’t join the festive occasions;
I took no delight in them.
I sat alone
because your hand was upon me
and you had filled me with curses.
18 Why am I always in pain?
Why is my wound incurable,
so far beyond healing?
You have become for me as unreliable
as a spring gone dry!
19 Therefore, the Lord proclaims:
If you return to me, I will take you back
and let you stand before me.
If you utter what is worthwhile,
not what is worthless,
you will be my spokesman.
They will turn to you,
not you to them!
20 I will make you a sturdy bronze wall
against these people.
They will attack you,
but they won’t triumph,
because I am with you
to protect and rescue you,
declares the Lord.
21 I will rescue you from the hand of the wicked;
I will redeem you from the grasp of the violent.

- Jeremiah 15:15 Heb uncertain
Jeremiah 15:15-21
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)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“If you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve(K) me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,
you will be my spokesman.(L)
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
20 I will make you a wall(M) to this people,
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome(N) you,
for I am with you
to rescue and save you,”(O)
declares the Lord.
21 “I will save(P) you from the hands of the wicked(Q)
and deliver(R) you from the grasp of the cruel.”(S)
