Jeremiah 15:18

LORD, you know.

Remember me, visit me,

and avenge me of my persecutors.

You are patient, so don’t take me away.

Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.

Your words were found,

and I ate them.

Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart,

for I am called by your name, LORD, God of Armies.

I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice.

I sat alone because of your hand,

for you have filled me with indignation.

Therefore the LORD says,

“If you return, then I will bring you again,

that you may stand before me;

and if you take out the precious from the vile,

you will be as my mouth.

They will return to you,

but you will not return to them.

I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall.

They will fight against you,

but they will not prevail against you;

for I am with you to save you

and to deliver you,” says the LORD.

“I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,

and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”
