Jeremiah 17:12-18
Christian Standard Bible
12 A glorious throne(A)
on high(B) from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.(C)
13 Lord, the hope of Israel,(D)
all who abandon you
will be put to shame.
All who turn away from me
will be written in the dirt,
for they have abandoned
the Lord, the fountain of living water.(E)
Jeremiah’s Plea
14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
save me, and I will be saved,
for you are my praise.(F)
15 Hear how they keep challenging me,(G)
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come!”
16 But I have not run away from being your shepherd,
and I have not longed for the fatal day.(H)
You know my words were spoken in your presence.
17 Don’t become a terror to me.
You are my refuge(I) in the day of disaster.
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,(J)
but don’t let me be put to shame.
Let them be terrified, but don’t let me be terrified.
Bring on them the day of disaster;(K)
shatter them with total[a] destruction.

Jeremiah 17:12-18
New American Standard Bible
12 (A)A glorious throne on high from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, the (B)hope of Israel,
All who (C)abandon You will be put to shame.
Those who turn [a]away on earth will be (D)written down,
Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, that is the Lord.
14 (E)Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
(F)Save me and I will be saved,
For You are my (G)praise.
15 Look, they keep (H)saying to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”
16 But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd following after You,
Nor have I longed for the disastrous day;
(I)You Yourself know that the utterance of my lips
Was in Your presence.
17 Do not be a (J)terror to me;
You are my (K)refuge in a day of disaster.
18 Let those who persecute me be (L)put to shame, but as for me, (M)let me not be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed.
(N)Bring on them a day of disaster,
And crush them with double destruction!
