Jeremiah 15:15-21

CLV(i) 15 You, You have known, O Yahweh, Remember me, and inspect me, And take vengeance for me of my pursuers, In Your long-suffering take me not away, Know--I have borne for You reproach." 16 Your words have been found, and I eat them, And Your word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Your name is called on me, O Yahweh, Elohim of Hosts." 17 I have not sat in an assembly of deriders, Nor do I exult, because of your hand, --Alone I have sat, For [with] indignation You have filled me." 18 Why has my pain been perpetual? And my wound incurable? It has refused to be healed, You are surely to me as a failing stream, Waters not stedfast." 19 Therefore, thus said Yahweh:If you turn back, then I bring you back, Before Me you do stand, And if you bring out the precious from the vile, As My mouth you are! They--they turn back unto you, And you do not turn back unto them." 20 And I have made you to this people For a wall--brazen--fenced, And they have fought against you, And they do not prevail against you, For with you [am] I to save you, And to deliver you--an affirmation of Yahweh, 21 And I have delivered you from the hand of evil doers, And I have ransomed you From the hand of the terrible!"
