Jeremiah 15:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³I will give them
    everything you own,
because you have sinned
    everywhere in your country.
¹⁴My anger is a fire
    that cannot be put out,^[a]
so I will make you slaves
of your enemies
    in a foreign land.^[b]

Jeremiah Complains Again

¹⁵You can see how I suffer
insult after insult,
    all because of you, Lord.
Don't be so patient
    with my enemies;
take revenge on them
    before they kill me.
