14Deut 32.22; Jer 16.13; 17.4I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you do not know, for in my anger a fire is kindled that shall burn against you.
15 Ps 69.7–9; Jer 12.3; 20.12 O Lord, you know;
remember me and visit me,
and bring down retribution for me on my persecutors.
In your forbearance do not take me away;
know that on your account I suffer insult.
16 Ps 119.72; Jer 14.9; Ezek 3.1–3 Your words were found, and I ate them,
and your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.
17 Jer 16.8; Ezek 3.24, 25 I did not sit in the company of merrymakers,

for you had filled me with indignation.

like waters that fail.
19 Jer 4.1; Ezek 22.26 Therefore thus says the Lord:
If you turn back, I will take you back,

you shall serve as my mouth.
It is they who will turn to you,
not you who will turn to them.
20 Isa 41.10; Jer 1.18, 19; 20.11 And I will make you to this people
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you,
but they shall not prevail over you,
for I am with you
to save you and deliver you, says the Lord.
21 Jer 20.13; 31.11 I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked
and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.
