The lament “LORD, you know” and the LORD’s word “If you return, then I will bring you again”
"여호와여 주께서 아시오니" 하는 탄식과 "네가 만일 돌아오면" 하신 여호와의 말씀
Jeremiah 15:15–21: the speaker (“I”) says, “LORD, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so don’t take me away. Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach. Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, LORD, God of Armies. I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation. Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?” The LORD says, “If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take out the precious from the vile, you will be as my mouth. They will return to you, but you will not return to them. I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says the LORD. “I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.” No verse of 15:15–21 names the speaker. The Korean Revised Version opens 15:16 with 만군의 하나님 여호와시여 나는 주의 이름으로 일컬음을 받는 자라 (LORD God of hosts, I am called by your name), where WEB closes the verse with those words, and gives 15:21 no words naming who speaks after closing the LORD’s words at 15:20 with 여호와의 말이니라 (says the LORD).

- JER 15:15–21, engwebp
15LORD, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so don’t take me away. Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
16Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart, for I am called by your name, LORD, God of Armies.
17I didn’t sit in the assembly of those who make merry and rejoice. I sat alone because of your hand, for you have filled me with indignation.
18Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, like waters that fail?
19Therefore the LORD says, “If you return, then I will bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take out the precious from the vile, you will be as my mouth. They will return to you, but you will not return to them.
20I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says the LORD.
21“I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.”
