Jeremiah 15:17-19
Lexham English Bible
17 I sat not in the assembly of jokers,
nor did I exult.
Because of the presence[a] of your hand I sat alone,
for you filled me with indignation.
18 Why is my pain endless, and my wound incurable?
It refuses to become healed.
Truly you are to me like a deceitful brook,
waters that are not trustworthy.
19 Therefore thus says Yahweh,
“If you turn back, then I will take you back.
You will stand before me.[b]
And if you utter what is precious and not what is worthless,
you will be as my mouth.
They will turn back to you,
and you will not turn back to them.

and my wound grievous and incurable?(C)
You are to me like a deceptive brook,
like a spring that fails.(D)
