15 ) O LORD, you know: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors, take me not away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke.
-
16 ) Your words were found, and I did eat them, and your word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.
-
17 ) I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced, I sat alone because of your hand: for you have filled me with indignation.
-
18 ) Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
-
19 ) Therefore thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before me: and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: let them return unto you, but return not you unto them.
-
20 ) And I will make you unto this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.
-
21 ) And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
