Jeremiah 15:16-18

New King James Version

¹⁶ Your words were found, and I ^(A)ate them,
And ^(B)Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.
^17 (C)I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers,
Nor did I rejoice;
I sat alone because of Your hand,
For You have filled me with indignation.
¹⁸ Why is my ^(D)pain perpetual
And my wound incurable,
Which refuses to be healed?
Will You surely be to me ^(E)like an unreliable stream,
As waters that ^[a]fail?
