Jeremiah 15:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ “When I discovered your words, I devoured them;
    they became a source of joy to me
    and the delight of my heart,
because I bore your name,
    O Lord, God of hosts.
¹⁷ “I have never associated with revelers
    or rejoiced in their company;
I sat alone because I felt your hand on me,
    and you had filled me with indignation.
¹⁸ Why then is my suffering continuous
    and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
You have indeed become for me a treacherous brook
    whose waters cannot be relied upon.”
