Jeremiah 17:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ But as for me, I have not sought to escape from being a shepherd after You, nor have I desired the woeful day [of judgment]; You know that. Whatever I said was spoken in Your presence and was from You.

¹⁷ Be not a terror to me; You are my refuge and my hope in the day of evil.

¹⁸ Let those be put to shame who persecute me, but let me not be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
