Jeremiah 15:18-19
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:
Jeremiah 15:18-19
King James Version
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

Jeremiah 15:18-19
New King James Version
18 Why is my (A)pain perpetual
And my wound incurable,
Which refuses to be healed?
Will You surely be to me (B)like an unreliable stream,
As waters that [a]fail?
The Lord Reassures Jeremiah
19 Therefore thus says the Lord:
(C)“If you return,
Then I will bring you back;
You shall (D)stand before Me;
If you (E)take out the precious from the vile,
You shall be as My mouth.
Let them return to you,
But you must not return to them.
