Jeremiah 15:14-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 Then I will make you serve your enemies[a]
in a land you do not know,
for My anger will kindle a fire
that will burn against you.(A)
Jeremiah’s Prayer for Vengeance
15 You know,(B) Lord;
remember me and take note of me.
Avenge me against my persecutors.(C)
In Your patience,[b] 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 am called by Your name,(F)
Yahweh God of Hosts.

King James Version
14 And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.
15 O Lord, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.
