Jeremiah 15:15-18 NIV

[15] LORD, you understand; remember me and care for me. Avenge me on my persecutors. You are long-suffering—do not take me away; think of how I suffer reproach for your sake. [16] When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty. [17] I never sat in the company of revelers, never made merry with them; I sat alone because your hand was on me and you had filled me with indignation. [18] Why is my pain unending and my wound grievous and incurable? You are to me like a deceptive brook, like a spring that fails.
