Authorized (King James) Version
Jeremiah 17:12-18
Authorized (King James) Version
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel,
all that forsake thee shall be ashamed,
and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth,
because they have forsaken the Lord,
the fountain of living waters.
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved:
for thou art my praise.
15 Behold, they say unto me,
Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee:
neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest:
that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
17 Be not a terror unto me:
thou art my hope in the day of evil.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me,
but let not me be confounded:
let them be dismayed,
but let not me be dismayed:
bring upon them the day of evil,
and destroy them with double destruction.

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)
