Jeremiah 15:15-18
Lexham English Bible
15 You who know, O Yahweh, remember me, and attend to me,
and take revenge for me against my persecutors in your forbearance.[a]
You must take me away.
Know that I am carrying disgrace because of you.
16 Your words were found and I ate them,
and your words became to me as jubilation,
even as the joy of my heart,
for your name is called on me, O Yahweh God of hosts.
17 I sat not in the assembly of jokers,
nor did I exult.
Because of the presence[b] of your hand I sat alone,
for you filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain endless, and my wound incurable?
It refuses to become healed.
Truly you are to me like a deceitful brook,
waters that are not trustworthy.

English Standard Version
15 (A)O Lord, you know;
(B)remember me and visit me,
(C)(D)and take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
In your forbearance take me not away;
(E)know that (F)for your sake I bear reproach.
16 Your words were found, (G)and I ate them,
and (H)your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
(I)for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.
17 (J)I did not sit in the company of revelers,
nor did I rejoice;
(K)I sat alone, because your hand was upon me,
for you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unceasing,
(L)my wound incurable,
refusing to be healed?
Will you be to me (M)like a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail?
