Jeremiah 15:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 You who know, O Yahweh, remember me, and attend to me,
and take revenge for me against my persecutors in your forbearance.[a]
You must take me away.
Know that I am carrying disgrace because of you.
16 Your words were found and I ate them,
and your words became to me as jubilation,
even as the joy of my heart,
for your name is called on me, O Yahweh God of hosts.
17 I sat not in the assembly of jokers,
nor did I exult.
Because of the presence[b] of your hand I sat alone,
for you filled me with indignation.

Jeremiah 15:15-17
New International Version
15 Lord, you understand;
remember me and care for me.
Avenge me on my persecutors.(A)
You are long-suffering(B)—do not take me away;
think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.(C)
16 When your words came, I ate(D) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(E)
for I bear your name,(F)
Lord God Almighty.
17 I never sat(G) in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand(H) was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.
