15 (A)You who know, O Yahweh,
Remember me, take notice of me,
And (B)take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
Do not, in view of Your patience, take me away;
Know that (C)for Your sake I endure reproach.
16 Your words were found, and I (D)ate them,
And Your (E)words became for me joy and gladness in my heart,
For I have been (F)called by Your name,
O Yahweh God of hosts.
17 I (G)did not sit in the circle of merrymakers,
Nor did I exult.
Because of Your hand upon me I sat (H)alone,
For You (I)filled me with indignation.
18 Why has my pain been perpetual
And my (J)wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
Will You indeed be to me (K)like a deceptive stream
With water that is unreliable?

Jeremiah’s Prayer and God’s Answer

15 (A)You know, Lord;
Remember me, take notice of me,
And (B)take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
Do not, in view of Your patience, take me away;
Know that (C)for Your sake I endure reproach.
16 Your words were found and I (D)ate them,
And Your (E)words became a joy to me and the delight of my heart;
For I have been (F)called by Your name,
Lord God of armies.
17 I (G)did not sit in a circle of revelers and celebrate.
Because of Your hand upon me I sat (H)alone,
For You (I)filled me with indignation.
18 Why has my pain been endless
And my (J)wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
Will You indeed be to me (K)like a deceptive stream
With water that is unreliable?
