I will give as aplunder without price,
Because of all your sins,
Throughout your territories.
aInto a land which you do not know;
For a bfire is kindled in My anger,
Which shall burn upon you.”
Remember me and1 visit me,
And btake vengeance for me on my persecutors.
In Your enduring patience, do not take me away.
Know that cfor Your sake I have suffered rebuke.
And bYour word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.
Nor did I rejoice;
I sat alone because of Your hand,
For You have filled me with indignation.
And my wound incurable,
Which refuses to be healed?
Will You surely be to me blike an unreliable stream,
As waters that1 fail?
The Lord Reassures Jeremiah
a“If you return,
Then I will bring you back;
You shall bstand before Me;
If you ctake out the precious from the vile,
You shall be as My mouth.
Let them return to you,
But you must not return to them.
And they will fight against you,
But bthey shall not prevail against you;
For I am with you to save you
And deliver you,” says the Lord.
And I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible.”

Jeremiah 15:15
thou knowest—namely, my case; what wrongs my adversaries have done me (Jeremiah 12:3).
revenge me—(See on Jeremiah 11:20). The prophet in this had regard to, not his own personal feelings of revenge, but the cause of God; he speaks by inspiration God's will against the ungodly. Contrast in this the law with the gospel (Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60).
take me not away in thy long-suffering—By Thy long-suffering towards them, suffer them not meanwhile to take away my life.
for thy sake I have suffered rebuke—the very words of the antitype, Jesus Christ (Psalms 69:7, Psalms 69:22-28), which last compare with Jeremiah's prayer in the beginning of this verse.
