Jeremiah 15:15-18
New King James Version
15 O Lord, (A)You know;
Remember me and [a]visit me,
And (B)take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
In Your enduring patience, do not take me away.
Know that (C)for Your sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 Your words were found, and I (D)ate them,
And (E)Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.
17 (F)I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers,
Nor did I rejoice;
I sat alone because of Your hand,
For You have filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my (G)pain perpetual
And my wound incurable,
Which refuses to be healed?
Will You surely be to me (H)like an unreliable stream,
As waters that [b]fail?

Jeremiah 15:15-18
American Standard Version
15 O Jehovah, thou knowest; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered reproach. 16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy words were unto me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O Jehovah, God of hosts. 17 I sat not in the assembly of them that make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand; for thou hast filled me with indignation. 18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful brook, as waters that [a]fail?
