Jeremiah 15:17
Compare all
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?  

The Lord Reassures Jeremiah

19 Therefore thus says the Lord:
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. 
20 And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze awall;
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.
