New American Standard Bible
Jeremiah 17:12-18
New American Standard Bible
12 (A)A glorious throne on high from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, the (B)hope of Israel,
All who (C)abandon You will be put to shame.
Those who turn [a]away on earth will be (D)written down,
Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, that is the Lord.
14 (E)Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
(F)Save me and I will be saved,
For You are my (G)praise.
15 Look, they keep (H)saying to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”
16 But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd following after You,
Nor have I longed for the disastrous day;
(I)You Yourself know that the utterance of my lips
Was in Your presence.
17 Do not be a (J)terror to me;
You are my (K)refuge in a day of disaster.
18 Let those who persecute me be (L)put to shame, but as for me, (M)let me not be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed.
(N)Bring on them a day of disaster,
And crush them with double destruction!

Jeremiah 17:12-18
New Living Translation
Jeremiah 17:12-18
New Living Translation
12 But we worship at your throne—
eternal, high, and glorious!
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel,
all who turn away from you will be disgraced.
They will be buried in the dust of the earth,
for they have abandoned the Lord, the fountain of living water.
14 O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed;
if you save me, I will be truly saved.
My praises are for you alone!
15 People scoff at me and say,
“What is this ‘message from the Lord’ you talk about?
Why don’t your predictions come true?”
16 Lord, I have not abandoned my job
as a shepherd for your people.
I have not urged you to send disaster.
You have heard everything I’ve said.
17 Lord, don’t terrorize me!
You alone are my hope in the day of disaster.
18 Bring shame and dismay on all who persecute me,
but don’t let me experience shame and dismay.
Bring a day of terror on them.
Yes, bring double destruction upon them!
Jeremiah 17:12-18
New International Version
Jeremiah 17:12-18
New International Version
12 A glorious throne,(A) exalted from the beginning,
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, you are the hope(B) of Israel;
all who forsake(C) you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust(D)
because they have forsaken the Lord,
the spring of living water.(E)
14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;(F)
save(G) me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.(H)
15 They keep saying to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it now be fulfilled!”(I)
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd;
you know I have not desired the day of despair.
What passes my lips(J) is open before you.
17 Do not be a terror(K) to me;
you are my refuge(L) in the day of disaster.(M)
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,
but keep me from shame;
let them be terrified,
but keep me from terror.
Bring on them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction.(N)
