Jeremiah 15:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸    So why does my pain never end?
        Why does this wound never heal?
    Will you be to me as deceptive and unreliable as a dry stream to a thirsty man?

¹⁹Eternal One (to Jeremiah): If you will turn back to Me,
        I will restore you—
        and you will stand before Me.
    If you will speak worthy words instead of worthless complaints,
        You will be My spokesman.
        Let the people come to you, but don’t go to them!
²⁰    They will come at you, but I will make you like a wall of bronze against them.
        They will not beat you, because I am with you to save and rescue you.
    This will be so, for I have declared it.
