Jeremiah 15:17-19
Christian Standard Bible
17 I never sat with the band of revelers,
and I did not celebrate with them.
Because your hand was on me, I sat alone,(A)
for you filled me with indignation.
18 Why has my pain become unending,
my wound incurable,(B)
refusing to be healed?
You truly have become like a mirage to me—
water that is not reliable.
Jeremiah Told to Repent
19 Therefore, this is what the Lord says:
If you return, I will take you back;
you will stand in my presence.
And if you speak noble words,
rather than worthless ones,
you will be my spokesman.(C)
It is they who must return to you;
you must not return to them.
