Jeremiah 15:18

Jeremiah 15:18 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

18Why is my pain unending

and my wound grievous and incurable?

You are to me like a deceptive brook,

like a spring that fails.

18Why has my pain been endless

And my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?

Will You indeed be to me like a deceptive stream

With water that is unreliable?

18Why has my pain been perpetual

And my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?

Will You indeed be to me like a deceptive stream

With water that is unreliable?

18Why has my pain been perpetual

And my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?

Will you indeed be to me like a deceptive brook

With water that is unreliable?

18Why is my pain unending,

and my wound incurable,

refusing to be healed?

You have indeed become like a mirage to me—

water that is not there.

The Lord’s Promise

18Why does my pain never end?

Why is my wound so deep?

Why can’t I ever get well?

To me you are like a stream that runs dry.

You are like a spring that doesn’t have any water.
