Jeremiah 15:15-18 - Jeremiah's Prayer For Vengeance

¹⁵ O Lord, you have knowledge: keep me in mind and come to my help, and give their right reward to those who are attacking me; take me not away, for you are slow to be angry: see how I have undergone shame because of you from all those who make little of your word; ¹⁶ But to me your word is a joy, making my heart glad; for I am named by your name, O Lord God of armies. ¹⁷ I did not take my seat among the band of those who are glad, and I had no joy; I kept by myself because of your hand; for you have made me full of wrath. ¹⁸ Why is my pain unending and my wound without hope of being made well? Sorrow is mine, for you are to me as a stream offering false hope and as waters which are not certain.
