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 17:14-18
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.
15 (C)Behold, they say to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come!”
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd,
nor have I desired the day of sickness.
(D)You know (E)what came out of my lips;
it was before your face.
17 Be not a terror to me;
(F)you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
18 (G)Let those be put to shame who persecute me,
but let me not be put to shame;
(H)let them be dismayed,
but let me not be dismayed;
(I)bring upon them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction!
