Jeremiah 15:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ Your words were found, and I devoured them.
Your words are my joy and my heart’s delight,
because I am called by your name, O Lord God of Armies.
¹⁷ I didn’t keep company with those who laugh and have fun.
I sat alone because your hand was on me.
You filled me with outrage.
¹⁸ Why is my pain unending
and my wound incurable, refusing to heal?
Will you disappoint me like a stream
that dries up in summertime?
