Jeremiah 17:12-18
Legacy Standard Bible
12 (A)A glorious throne on high from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Yahweh, the (B)hope of Israel,
All who (C)forsake 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, even Yahweh.
14 (E)Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed;
(F)Save me and I will be saved,
For You are my (G)praise.
15 Behold, they keep (H)saying to me,
“Where is the word of Yahweh?
Let it come now!”
16 But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You,
Nor have I longed for the [b]sickening 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 the day of calamity.
18 Let those who pursue 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 calamity,
And [c]crush them with twofold [d]crushing!

Jeremiah 17:12-18
Evangelical Heritage Version
12 The place of our sanctuary is a glorious throne,
exalted from the beginning.
13 You are the hope of Israel, Lord.
All who forsake you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you[a] will be written in the earth,
because they have forsaken the Lord, the spring of living water.
14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed.
Save me, and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.
15 They say to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come!”
16 I have not tried to run away from being your shepherd,[b]
nor have I wanted to bring the day of incurable pain.
You are aware of everything that comes out of my lips.
It is not hidden from you.
17 Do not be a terror to me.
You are my refuge in the day of disaster.
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,
but do not let me be put to shame.
Let them be terrified,
but do not let me be terrified.
Bring on them the day of disaster
and destroy them with double destruction.

- Jeremiah 17:13 You is the reading of the Greek. The Hebrew reads me. This reading would require a change of speakers to the Lord.
- Jeremiah 17:16 Some ancient versions read this line as a parallel to the following line: I have not run after you for the sake of disaster.
