Yeremia 4:14

4:14 “Oh people of Jerusalem, purify your hearts from evil ¹ 

so that you may yet be delivered.

How long will you continue to harbor up

wicked schemes within you?

Yeremia 15:15

15:15 I said, ² 

“Lord, you know how I suffer. ³ 

Take thought of me and care for me.

Pay back for me 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.

[4:14]  ¹ tn Heb “Oh, Jerusalem, wash your heart from evil.”

[15:15]  ² tn The words “I said” are not in the text. They are supplied in the translation for clarity to mark the shift from the Lord speaking to Jerusalem, to Jeremiah speaking to God.

[15:15]  ³ tn The words “how I suffer” are not in the text but are implicit from the continuation. They are supplied in the translation for clarity. Jeremiah is not saying “you are all knowing.”
