Jeremiah 15.15-16 I said, Lord, you know how I suffer. Take thought of me and care for me. Pay back for those who have been persecuting me. Do not be so patient with them that you allow them to kill me. Be mindful of how I have put up with their insults for Your sake. As Your words came to me, I drank them in, and they filled my heart with joy and happiness, because I belong to You, O Lord, God of heaven's armies.
