Jeremiah 15:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ As your words came to me,
    I took them into me like sweet food.
I belong to you, Lord, God Almighty,
    so your words made me very happy.
¹⁷ When people were enjoying wild parties,
    I did not join with them.
I sat alone, because you held me.
    You caused me to be angry with those people.
¹⁸ I am in pain which never ends.
    People have hurt me and nothing makes it better.
Why are you not there to help me?
    You are like a stream that becomes dry
    and it has no water.’
