Jeremiah 15:16-18
New International Reader's Version
16 When I received your words, I ate them.
They filled me with joy.
My heart took delight in them.
Lord God who rules over all,
I belong to you.
17 I never sat around with those who go to wild parties.
I never had a good time with them.
I sat alone because you had put your powerful hand on me.
Your anger against sin was burning inside me.
18 Why does my pain never end?
Why is my wound so deep?
Why can’t I ever get well?
To me you are like a stream that runs dry.
You are like a spring that doesn’t have any water.
Jeremiah 15:16-18
New International Version
16 When your words came, I ate(A) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(B)
for I bear your name,(C)
Lord God Almighty.
17 I never sat(D) in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand(E) was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?(F)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(G)
