English Standard Version
Jeremiah 15:16-19
English Standard Version
16 Your words were found, (A)and I ate them,
and (B)your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
(C)for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.
17 (D)I did not sit in the company of revelers,
nor did I rejoice;
(E)I sat alone, because your hand was upon me,
for you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unceasing,
(F)my wound incurable,
refusing to be healed?
Will you be to me (G)like a deceitful brook,
like waters that fail?
19 Therefore thus says the Lord:
(H)“If you return, I will restore you,
and you shall (I)stand before me.
If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless,
you shall be as my mouth.
They shall turn to you,
but you shall not turn to them.

Jeremiah 15:16-19
New International Version
16 When your words came, I ate(A) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(B)
for I bear your name,(C)
Lord God Almighty.
17 I never sat(D) in the company of revelers,
never made merry with them;
I sat alone because your hand(E) was on me
and you had filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain unending
and my wound grievous and incurable?(F)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(G)
19 Therefore this is what the Lord says:
