Jeremiah 15:18

Why is my pain endless
and my wound incurable, so that it refuses to be healed?
Do you really want to be to me like a drying up (deceptive) stream,
like water that cannot be trusted? [Job 6:15]
[The image that is painted is a desert landscape with a dry riverbed (a wadi) that only exceptionally becomes filled with water after heavy rain in the adjacent mountainous landscapes.]
