15:18Why must I continually suffer such painful anguish?
Why must I endure the sting of their insults like an incurable wound?
Will you let me down when I need you
like a brook one goes to for water, but that cannot be relied on?”41
Footnotes
- 41 Heb “Will you be to me like a deceptive (brook), like waters which do not last [or are not reliable].” Jeremiah is speaking of the stream beds or wadis which fill with water after the spring rains but often dry up in the summer time. A fuller picture is painted in Job 6:14–21. This contrasts with the earlier metaphor that God had used of himself in Jer 2:13.
