Jeremiah 17:14-18
The Message
14-18 God, pick up the pieces.
Put me back together again.
You are my praise!
Listen to how they talk about me:
“So where’s this ‘Word of God’?
We’d like to see something happen!”
But it wasn’t my idea to call for Doomsday.
I never wanted trouble.
You know what I’ve said.
It’s all out in the open before you.
Don’t add to my troubles.
Give me some relief!
Let those who harass me be harassed, not me.
Let them be disgraced, not me.
Bring down upon them the day of doom.
Lower the boom. Boom!
Jeremiah 17:14
English Standard Version
Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance
14 (A)Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for (B)you are my praise.
