Jeremiah 15:15-18
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Jeremiah’s Prayer for Vengeance
15 You know,(A) Lord;
remember me and take note of me.
Avenge me against my persecutors.(B)
In Your patience,[a] don’t take me away.
Know that I suffer disgrace for Your honor.(C)
16 Your words were found, and I ate them.(D)
Your words became a delight to me
and the joy of my heart,
for I am called by Your name,(E)
Yahweh God of Hosts.
17 I never sat with the band of revelers,
and I did not celebrate with them.
Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone,(F)
for You filled me with indignation.
18 Why has my pain become unending,
my wound incurable,(G)
refusing to be healed?
You truly have become like a mirage to me—
water that is not reliable.

- Jeremiah 15:15 Lit In the slowness of Your anger
Jeremiah 15:15-18
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!
