Jeremiah 15:18-20
Complete Jewish Bible
Jeremiah 15:18-20
Complete Jewish Bible
18 Why is my pain unending,
my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
Will you be for me like a deceptive vadi,
which is only sometimes filled with water?
19 This is Adonai’s answer:
“If you return — if I bring you back —
you will stand before me.
If you separate the precious from the base,
you will be my spokesman.
It will then be they who turn to you,
not you who turn to them.
20 Toward this people I will make you
a fortified wall of bronze —
they will fight against you
but not prevail against you;
for I am with you to save you
and rescue you,” says Adonai.
Jeremiah 15:18-20
New International Version
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.
