Jeremiah 15:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴People of Judah, I will make you slaves of your enemies.
    You will be slaves in a land that you never knew.
I am very angry.
    My anger is like a hot fire,
    and you will be burned.”

¹⁵Lord, you understand me.
    Remember me and take care of me.
People are hurting me.
    Give them the punishment they deserve.
You are being patient with them.
    But don’t destroy me while you remain patient with them.
Think about me.
    Think about the pain I suffer for you.
¹⁶Your words came to me, and I ate them up.
    They made me very happy.
I was glad to be called by your name,
    Lord God All-Powerful.
