Jeremiah 15:17

Jeremiah 15:17 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

17I never sat in the company of revelers,

never made merry with them;

I sat alone because your hand was on me

and you had filled me with indignation.

17I did not sit in a circle of revelers and celebrate.

Because of Your hand upon me I sat alone,

For You filled me with indignation.

17I did not sit in the circle of merrymakers,

Nor did I exult.

Because of Your hand upon me I sat alone,

For You filled me with indignation.

17I did not sit with the group of those who celebrate,

Nor did I rejoice;

I sat alone because Your [powerful] hand was upon me,

For You had filled me with indignation [at their sin].

17I never sat with the band of revelers,

nor did I celebrate with them.

Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone,

for You have filled me with indignation.

17I never sat around with those who go to wild parties.

I never had a good time with them.

I sat alone because you had put your powerful hand on me.

Your anger against sin was burning inside me.
