17
I never joined the party crowd in their laughter and their fun. Led by you, I went off by myself. You'd filled me with indignation. Their sin had me seething.
17
I never sat with the band of revelers, and I did not celebrate [with them]. Because Your hand was [on me], I sat alone, for You filled me with indignation.
Jeremiah 15:17 In-Context
15
LORD, you understand; remember me and care for me. Avenge me on my persecutors. You are long-suffering—do not take me away; think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.
16
When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, LORD God Almighty.
17
I 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.
18
Why is my pain unending and my wound grievous and incurable? You are to me like a deceptive brook, like a spring that fails.
19
Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them.
