Jeremiah 17:12-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 O glorious throne, exalted from the beginning,
shrine of our sanctuary!
13 O hope of Israel! O Lord!
All who forsake you shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from you[a] shall be recorded in the underworld,[b]
for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, the Lord.(A)
Jeremiah Prays for Vindication
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for you are my praise.(B)
15 See how they say to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come!”(C)
16 But I have not run away from being a shepherd[c] in your service,
nor have I desired the fatal day.
You know what came from my lips;
it was before your face.
17 Do not become a terror to me;
you are my refuge in the day of disaster;(D)
18 Let my persecutors be shamed,
but do not let me be shamed;
let them be dismayed,
but do not let me be dismayed;
bring on them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction!(E)
Jeremiah 17:12-18
Lexham English Bible
The Fountain of Living Water
12 A lofty throne of glory from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Yahweh, the hope of Israel,
all those who forsake you will be put to shame,
and those who turn aside from you in the earth will be recorded,
for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, Yahweh.
14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed,
save me, and I will be saved,
for you are my praise.
15 Look, they are saying to me,
“Where is the word of Yahweh?
Please let it come.”
16 But I, I have not run away from being a shepherd who follows you,[a]
and I have not desired the disastrous day.
You, you know the pronouncement of my lips,
it was before your face.
17 You must not become to me a terror,
you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,
but as for me,[b] do not let me be put to shame.
Let them be dismayed,
but as for me,[c] do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of disaster,
and with double destruction, destroy them.
