Jeremiah 15:16-18

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁶ Your words were found, and I ^(A)ate them,
And Your ^(B)words became for me joy and gladness in my heart,
For I have been ^(C)called by Your name,
O Yahweh God of hosts.
¹⁷ I ^(D)did not sit in the circle of merrymakers,
Nor did I exult.
Because of Your hand upon me I sat ^(E)alone,
For You ^(F)filled me with indignation.
¹⁸ Why has my pain been perpetual
And my ^(G)wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
Will You indeed be to me ^(H)like a deceptive stream
With water that is unreliable?
