Jeremiah 15:16

⁹I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.”

¹⁰I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth. When I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.

¹He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”

²So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.

³He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your belly and your bowels with it.” Then I ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth.

¹⁰¹I have kept my feet from every evil way, that I might observe your word. ¹⁰²I have not turned away from your ordinances, for you have taught me. ¹⁰³How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!

¹²I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

¹⁰They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.

¹¹¹I have taken your testimonies as a heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.

⁹⁷How I love your law! It is my meditation all day.

⁷²The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. YODH

⁹Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can’t save? Yet you, LORD, are in the middle of us, and we are called by your name. Don’t leave us.
