I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; _yet_ every one of them doth curse me. ^10 [11↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-11) The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee _well_ in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. ^11 [12↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-12) Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? ^12 [13↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-13) Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and _that_ for all thy sins, even in all thy borders. ^13 [14↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-14) And I will make _thee_ to pass with thine enemies into a land _which_ thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, _which_ shall burn upon you. ^14 [15↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-15) ¶ O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. ^15 [16↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-16) Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts. ^16 [17↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-17) I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation. ^17 [18↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-18) Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, _which_ refuses to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, _and_ _as_ waters _that_ fail? ^18 [19↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-19) ¶ Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, _and_ thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. ^19 [20↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-20) And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I _am_ with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD. ^20 [21↗](Jeremiah%2015%20FSI.md#^jer15-21) And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. ^21 Tags: #Old_Testament #Jeremiah #Gods_judgment_on_His_people
