Jeremiah 15:17-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷I 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.
¹⁸Why 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

¹⁹Therefore, this is what the Lord says:

If you return, I will restore you;
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.
