Jeremiah 15:16
Compare all
14 And I will1 make you cross over with your enemies
aInto a land which you do not know;
For a bfire is kindled in My anger,
Which shall burn upon you.” 
15 O Lord, aYou know;
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. 
16 Your words were found, and I aate them,
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. 
17 aI did not sit in the assembly of the mockers,
Nor did I rejoice;
I sat alone because of Your hand,
For You have filled me with indignation. 
18 Why is my apain perpetual
And my wound incurable,
Which refuses to be healed?
Will You surely be to me blike an unreliable stream,
As waters that1 fail?

Jeremiah 15:16

Thy word was - the joy and rejoicing of mine heart - When I did receive the prophetic message, I did rejoice in the honor thou hadst done me; and I faithfully testified thy will to them. They have become mine enemies; not because there was any evil in me, but because I was faithful to thee.
