Jeremiah 15:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ Lord, you understand how much I’m suffering.
    Show concern for me. Take care of me.
    Pay back those who are trying to harm me.
You are patient. Don’t take my life away from me.
    Think about how much shame I suffer because of you.
¹⁶ When I received your words, I ate them.
    They filled me with joy.
    My heart took delight in them.
Lord God who rules over all,
    I belong to you.
