Jeremiah 15:16 in Context — Jeremiah 15

14 E [te] levarei com teus inimigos a uma terra que não conheces; porque fogo se acendeu em minha ira, que arderá sobre vós.

15 Tu sabes, ó SENHOR; lembra-te de mim, visita-me, e vinga-me de meus perseguidores. Na lentidão de tua ira não me elimines; tu sabes que é por causa de ti que sofro insultos.

16 Achando-se tuas palavras, logo eu as comi; e tua palavra me foi por prazer e por alegria a meu coração; pois me chamo pelo teu nome, ó SENHOR Deus dos exércitos.

17 Não me sentei em companhia de zombadores, nem [com eles] me alegrei; por causa de tua mão, eu me sentei sozinho, pois me encheste de indignação.

18 Por que minha dor é contínua, e minha ferida intratável, que não permite cura? Por acaso serias tu para mim como uma ilusão, como águas que não se pode confiar?
