Jeremiah 15:17-19
Legacy Standard Bible
17 I (A)did not sit in the circle of merrymakers,
Nor did I exult.
Because of Your hand upon me I sat (B)alone,
For You (C)filled me with indignation.
18 Why has my pain been perpetual
And my (D)wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
Will You indeed be to me (E)like a deceptive stream
With water that is unreliable?
Yahweh’s Answer
19 Therefore thus says Yahweh,
“(F)If you return, then I will cause you to return—
(G)Before Me you will stand;
And (H)if you extract the precious from the worthless,
You will become [a]My mouthpiece.
They for their part may turn to you,
But as for you, you must not turn to them.

New International Version
17 I never sat(A) in the company of revelers,

I sat alone because your hand(B) was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?(C)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(D)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
