Jeremiah
Chapter 15
(AMP)
Jeremiah 15
Ready to read
1
You have covered Yourself with a cloud So that no prayer can pass through.
2
You have made us scum and refuse Among the peoples (Gentile nations).
3
All our enemies have gaped at us.
4
Panic and pitfall (traps, danger) have come on us, Devastation and destruction.
5
My eyes overflow with streams of tears Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people (Jerusalem).
6
My eyes overflow unceasingly, Without stopping,
7
Until the LORD looks down And sees from heaven.
8
My eyes [see things that] bring pain to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.
9
Without cause my enemies Hunted me down like a bird;
10
They silenced me in the pit And placed a stone over me.
11
The waters ran down on my head; I said, "I am cut off (destroyed)!"
12
I called on Your name, O LORD, Out of the lowest pit.
13
You have heard my voice, "Do not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief, From my cry for help."
14
You drew near on the day I called to You; You said, "Do not fear."
15
O Lord, You have pleaded my soul's cause [You have guided my way and protected me]; You have rescued and redeemed my life.
16
O LORD, You have seen the wrong [done to me]; Judge my case.
17
You have seen all their vengeance, All their schemes against me.
18
You have heard their reproach, O LORD, And all their schemes against me.
19
The lips and whispering of my assailants Are against me all day long.
20
Look at their sitting and their rising [their actions and secret counsels]; I am their mocking song [the subject of their ridicule].
21
You will repay them, O LORD, According to the work of their hands.
