Jeremiah 15:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ I didn’t keep company with those who laugh and have fun.
I sat alone because your hand was on me.
You filled me with outrage.
¹⁸ Why is my pain unending
and my wound incurable, refusing to heal?
Will you disappoint me like a stream
that dries up in summertime?

If you will return, I will take you back.
If you will speak what is worthwhile and not what is worthless,
you will stand in my presence.
The people will return to you, but you will not return to them.
