Jeremiah 15:15-17
EasyEnglish Bible
15 ‘Lord, you understand my problems.
Remember me and take care of me.
Please punish those people who hate me.
Do not be so patient with them that they kill me.
Remember that they have insulted me
because I am serving you.
16 As your words came to me,
I took them into me like sweet food.
I belong to you, Lord, God Almighty,
so your words made me very happy.
17 When people were enjoying wild parties,
I did not join with them.
I sat alone, because you held me.
You caused me to be angry with those people.
Jeremiah 15:15-17
New International Version
15 Lord, you understand;
remember me and care for me.
Avenge me on my persecutors.(A)
You are long-suffering(B)—do not take me away;
think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.(C)
16 When your words came, I ate(D) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(E)
for I bear your name,(F)
Lord God Almighty.
17 I never sat(G) in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand(H) was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.
