Jeremiah 17:12-18
New International Version
Jeremiah 17:12-18
New International Version
12 A glorious throne,(A) exalted from the beginning,
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, you are the hope(B) of Israel;
all who forsake(C) you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust(D)
because they have forsaken the Lord,
the spring of living water.(E)
14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;(F)
save(G) me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.(H)
15 They keep saying to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it now be fulfilled!”(I)
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd;
you know I have not desired the day of despair.
What passes my lips(J) is open before you.
17 Do not be a terror(K) to me;
you are my refuge(L) in the day of disaster.(M)
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,
but keep me from shame;
let them be terrified,
but keep me from terror.
Bring on them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction.(N)

International Standard Version
The Lord: The Hope of Israel
12 A glorious throne exalted from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, you are the hope of Israel;
all who forsake you will be put to shame.
Those who turn aside from you[a] will be
written in the dust,[b]
because they have forsaken the Lord,
the spring of living water.
The Prophet’s Call for Help and Justice
14 Heal me, Lord, and I’ll be healed;
deliver me, and I’ll be delivered,
because you are my praise.
15 Look, they’re saying to me,
“Where is the message from the Lord?
Let it come about!”
16 I haven’t run away from being your shepherd,[c]
and I haven’t longed for the day of sickness.[d]
You know what comes out from my lips,
it’s open before you.[e]
17 Don’t be a terror to me.
You are my refuge in a day of trouble.
18 Let those who pursue me be put to shame,
but don’t put me to shame.
Let them be terrified,
but don’t let me be terrified.
Bring the day of judgment[f] on them,
and destroy them with double destruction!
