Jeremiah 15:13-15

Easy-to-Read Version

¹³The people of Judah have many treasures.
    I will give these riches to other people.
They will not have to buy them,
    because Judah has many sins.
    The people sinned in every part of Judah.
¹⁴People of Judah, I will make you slaves of your enemies.
    You will be slaves in a land that you never knew.
I am very angry.
    My anger is like a hot fire,
    and you will be burned.”

¹⁵Lord, you understand me.
    Remember me and take care of me.
People are hurting me.
    Give them the punishment they deserve.
You are being patient with them.
    But don’t destroy me while you remain patient with them.
Think about me.
    Think about the pain I suffer for you.
