Jeremiah 15:16-18
The Voice
16 When I discovered Your words, I ate them up:
they were my great joy and my heart’s delight.
I am Yours, and I bear the name of the Eternal God,
Commander of heavenly armies.
17 I never sat in the circle of jokesters,
nor did I celebrate with them.
No. I stayed to myself, sat alone because Your hand was heavy on me;
You filled me with indignation over their sins.
18 So why does my pain never end?
Why does this wound never heal?
Will you be to me as deceptive and unreliable as a dry stream to a thirsty man?
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)
