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
Revised Standard Version
12 A glorious throne set on high from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel,
all who forsake thee shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from thee[a] shall be written in the earth,
for they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living water.
Jeremiah Prays for Vindication
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved;
for thou art my praise.
15 Behold, they say to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come!”
16 I have not pressed thee to send evil,
nor have I desired the day of disaster,
thou knowest;
that which came out of my lips
was before thy face.
17 Be not a terror to me;
thou art my refuge 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 upon them the day of evil;
destroy them with double destruction!
