New Testament

Jeremiah 15:13-21 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. Your wealth and your treasuresI will give to the destroyer without price,and that for all your sins,even within all your borders.

14. I will make you to pass with your enemiesinto a land which you do not know;for a fire is kindled in My anger,which shall burn upon you.

15. O Lord, You who know, remember me,and take notice of me,and take vengeance on my persecutors.Because of your longsuffering, do not take me away.Know that for Your sake I have suffered rebuke.

16. Your words were found and I ate them.And Your word became to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart,for I am called by Your name,O Lord God of Hosts.

17. I did not sit in the assembly of mockers,nor did I rejoice;I sat alone because of Your hand,for You have filled me with indignation.

18. Why is my pain perpetualand my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed?Shall You be altogether to me as a deceptive streamand as waters that fail?

19. Therefore thus says the Lord: If you return, then I will bring you back,and you shall stand before Me;and if you take out the precious from the worthless,you will be My spokesman.Let them return to you,but do not return to them.

20. I will make you to this peoplea fortified bronze wall;and they shall fight against you,but they shall not prevail against you;for I am with youto save you and to deliver you,says the Lord.

21. I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked,and I will redeem you out of the hand of the violent.
