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.
