Jeremiah 15:16 in context

  1. 14I will make them to pass with your enemies into a land which you don’t know;
    for a fire is kindled in my anger,
    which will burn on you.”
  2. 15Yahweh, you know.
    Remember me, visit me,
    and avenge me of my persecutors.
    You are patient, so don’t take me away.
    Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
  3. 16Your words were found,
    and I ate them.
    Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart,
    for I am called by your name, Yahweh, God of Armies.
  4. 17I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice.
    I sat alone because of your hand,
    for you have filled me with indignation.
  5. 18Why is my pain perpetual,
    and my wound incurable,
    which refuses to be healed?
    Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook,
    like waters that fail?
