Jeremiah 15:18-20
Legacy Standard Bible
18 Why has my pain been perpetual
And my (A)wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
Will You indeed be to me (B)like a deceptive stream
With water that is unreliable?
Yahweh’s Answer
19 Therefore thus says Yahweh,
“(C)If you return, then I will cause you to return—
(D)Before Me you will stand;
And (E)if you extract the precious from the worthless,
You will become [a]My mouthpiece.
They for their part may turn to you,
But as for you, you must not turn to them.
20 Then I will (F)make you to this people
A fortified wall of bronze;
And they will fight against you,
But they will not prevail against you,
For (G)I am with you to save you
And deliver you,” declares Yahweh.

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.
