Jeremiah 15:14-16
Amplified Bible
14
“Then I will make your enemies bring [you along with] your possessions
Into a land which you do not know [for there you will serve your conquerors];
For a fire has been kindled in My anger,
Which will burn upon you.”
Jeremiah’s Prayer and God’s Answer
15
O Lord, You know and understand;
Remember me [thoughtfully], take notice of me,
take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
Do not, in view of Your patience, take me away;
Know that for Your sake I endure [continual] rebuke and dishonor.
16
Your words were found and I ate them,
And Your words became a joy to me and the delight of my heart;
For I have been called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.
Jeremiah 15:14-16
New International Version
14 I will enslave you to your enemies
in[a] a land you do not know,(A)
for my anger will kindle a fire(B)
that will burn against you.”
15 Lord, you understand;
remember me and care for me.
Avenge me on my persecutors.(C)
You are long-suffering(D)—do not take me away;
think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.(E)
16 When your words came, I ate(F) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(G)
for I bear your name,(H)
Lord God Almighty.
