15:2 And when they say to you, Where shall we go? Then you shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah, Those who are for death to death, And those who are for the sword to the sword, And those who are for famine to famine, And those who are for captivity to captivity.

15:8 Their widows have increased before Me More than the sand of the seas; I have brought to them, Against the mother of the young men, A spoiler at noon; I have caused anguish and terror To fall on her suddenly.
15:9 She who has borne seven languishes; She has breathed out her life. Her sun has gone down while it is still day; She is put to shame and confounded. And the rest of them I will give up to the sword Before their enemies, Declares Jehovah.

15:15 O Jehovah, You know; Remember me and visit me, And avenge me of my persecutors. Do not let Your long-suffering for them prevail and have me taken away; Know that for Your sake I bear reproach.
15:16 Your words were found and I ate them, And Your word became to me The gladness and joy of my heart, For I am called by Your name, O Jehovah, God of hosts.
15:17 I did not sit in the assembly of mockers, nor did I exult. Because of Your hand I sat alone, For You have filled me with indignation.
