Is there anyone whom I can talk to—to warn them, so that they’ll heed?

But everyone’s ears are stopped up, they’re unable to take in my words.

The word of the LORD has become . . . an embarrassment, which they don’t need.

But I’m full of the wrath of the LORD; I can’t hold it inside any more. (Jer 6:10–11)

His doubts, his disappointments, are displayed for all to see:

When Your words first came I devoured them: Your words were a joy, a delight to my heart;

Your name was joined to mine, “the LORD God of Hosts.”

I avoided the revelers’ parties; my joy was Your hand placed upon me.

So I sat by myself, all alone, brimming with Your righteous anger.

Then why is it now I have unending pain, a wound that will never be healed?

Will it turn out You’ve been for me . . . a fountain whose waters gave out? (Jer 15:16–18)
