Jeremiah 15

Jeremiah 15 is a chapter in the Bible. It tells the story of Jeremiah, who was a prophet. A prophet is someone who talks to God and tells people what God wants them to do. Jeremiah was very sad because the people in his town were not listening to him or God. They were doing bad things and not following God's rules.

Jeremiah talked to God and said, "Why is this happening? Why are the people not listening to me?" God said to Jeremiah, "I told you it would be hard. But don't be afraid. I will protect you and help you."

Jeremiah was still sad and said to God, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" God said, "Sometimes bad things happen to everyone, even good people. But I am always with you and I will help you through the hard times."

Jeremiah felt a little better after talking to God, but he still had to tell the people in his town that they needed to follow God's rules. Even though it was hard and people didn't want to listen, he knew that he was doing the right thing by being truthful and honest.

So, Jeremiah 15 is a story about a prophet who was sad and struggled with the people not listening to him or following God's rules, but he found comfort in talking to God and trusting that God would help him through the hard times.
