Jeremiah 15:18-20
World English Bible
18 Why is my pain perpetual,
and my wound incurable,
which refuses to be healed?
Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail?
19 Therefore Yahweh says,
“If you return, then I will bring you again,
that you may stand before me;
and if you take out the precious from the vile,
you will be as my mouth.
They will return to you,
but you will not return to them.
20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall.
They will fight against you,
but they will not prevail against you;
for I am with you to save you
and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.
Jeremiah 15:18-20
New International Version
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?(A)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(B)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“If you repent, I will restore you
that you may serve(C) me;
if you utter worthy, not worthless, words,
you will be my spokesman.(D)
Let this people turn to you,
but you must not turn to them.
20 I will make you a wall(E) to this people,
a fortified wall of bronze;
they will fight against you
but will not overcome(F) you,
for I am with you
to rescue and save you,”(G)
declares the Lord.
