Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?

The verse 18 is found in chapter 15 of Jeremiah. Jeremiah laments his own existence because of the conflict produced by his ministry. Nevertheless, he declares that he found God’s words and ate them, making them inner nourishment. The final promise to make the prophet a fortress shows that faithfulness does not eliminate opposition, but enables him to endure it through divine presence.

Warum währt doch mein Leiden so lange, und meine Wunden sind so gar böse, daß sie niemand heilen kann? Du bist mir geworden wie ein Born, der nicht mehr quellen will.
¿Por qué fue perpetuo mi dolor, y mi herida desahuciada no admitió cura? ¿Serás para mí como cosa ilusoria, como aguas que no son estables?
¿Por qué es perpetuo mi dolor y es incurable mi herida, que se niega a sanar? ¿Serás para mí como una corriente engañosa, como aguas en las que no se puede confiar?
Pourquoi ma souffrance est-elle continuelle? Pourquoi ma plaie est-elle douloureuse, et ne veut-elle pas se guérir? Serais-tu pour moi comme une source trompeuse, Comme une eau dont on n'est pas sûr?
Perchè è stato il mio dolore perpetuo, e la mia piaga disperata? perchè ha ella ricusato d’esser guarita? mi saresti tu pure come una cosa fallace, come acque che non son perenni?
Por que dura a minha dor continuamente, e a minha ferida me dói, e já não admite cura? Serias tu para mim como coisa mentirosa e como águas inconstantes?
我的痛苦為何長久不止呢? 我的傷痕為何無法可醫,不能痊癒呢? 難道你以詭詐待我,像流乾的河道嗎?
