Jeremiah 15:18

15:18 Why 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?” ¹ 

[15:18]  ¹ tn Heb “Will you be to me like a deceptive (brook), like waters which do not last [or are not reliable].”
