Jeremiah 15:19-21 New International Version (NIV)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“If you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,
you will be my spokesman.
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
20 I will make you a wall to this people,
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome you,
for I am with you
to rescue and save you,”
declares the Lord.
21 “I will save you from the hands of the wicked
and deliver you from the grasp of the cruel.”
God answers the prayers of the people not with the response they want to hear. God never promises to make our life easy; and He never makes our life easy. He promises only to deliver us from our enemies and to save us from the wicked people who would destroy us. Therefore, in the midst of injustice, let us not allow evil to overcome good.

YEREMIA 15:19-21
19 Kwa sababu hiyo Bwana asema hivi, Ukirudi, ndipo mimi nitakapokurejeza, upate kusimama mbele zangu; nawe ukitoa kilicho cha thamani katika kilicho kibovu, utakuwa kama kinywa changu; nao watakurudia wewe, bali hutawarudia wao.
20 Nami nitakufanya kuwa kama ukuta wa boma la shaba juu ya watu hawa; nao watapigana nawe; lakini hawatakushinda; maana mimi nipo pamoja nawe, ili nikuokoe, na kukuponya, asema Bwana.
21 Nami nitakuokoa na mkono wa watu wabaya, nami nitakukomboa katika mkono wao wenye kutisha.
Mungu anajibu maombi ya watu wake, siyo kama walivyotarajia kupokea toka kwake. Mungu hajawahi kutuahidi kuwa atayarahisisha maisha yetu; na haitatokea kuyafanya kuwa rahisi. Yeye ameahidi kutuokoa dhidi ya maadui zetu na kutuepusha na watu waovu wanaowaza kutuangamiza. Hivyo, hata katikati ya uovu mwingi, tusiruhusu ubaya kuushinda wema.
