Jeremiah 15:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn against you.(A)
15 O Lord, you know;
remember me and visit me,
and bring down retribution for me on my persecutors.
In your forbearance do not take me away;
know that on your account I suffer insult.(B)
16 Your words were found, and I ate them,
and your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.(C)
