Jeremiah's Prayer and God's Answer

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:15 - You who know, O LORD,
Remember me, take notice of me,
And take vengeance for me on my persecutors.
Do not, in view of Your patience, take me away;
Know that for Your sake I endure reproach.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:16 - Your words were found and I ate them,
And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart;
For I have been called by Your name,
O LORD God of hosts.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:17 - I did not sit in the circle of merrymakers,
Nor did I exult.
Because of Your hand upon me I sat alone,
For You filled me with indignation.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:18 - Why has my pain been perpetual
And my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
Will You indeed be to me like a deceptive stream
With water that is unreliable?
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:19 - Therefore, thus says the LORD,
“If you return, then I will restore you—
Before Me you will stand;
And if you extract the precious from the worthless,
You will become [fn]My spokesman.
They for their part may turn to you,
But as for you, you must not turn to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:20 - “Then I will make you to this people
A fortified wall of bronze;
And though they fight against you,
They will not prevail over you;
For I am with you to save you
And deliver you,” declares the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:21 - “So I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked,
And I will redeem you from the [fn]grasp of the violent.”
