Jeremiah’s Prayer for Vengeance

15 You know,(A) Lord;
remember me and take note of me.(B)
Avenge me against my persecutors.(C)
In your patience,[a] don’t take me away.
Know that I suffer disgrace for your honor.(D)
16 Your words were found, and I ate them.(E)
Your words became a delight to me
and the joy of my heart,
for I bear your name,(F)
Lord God of Armies.
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,(G)
for you filled me with indignation.
