Jeremiah 17:12-18
New King James Version
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, (A)the hope of Israel,
(B)All who forsake You shall be ashamed.
“Those who depart from Me
Shall be (C)written in the earth,
Because they have forsaken the Lord,
The (D)fountain of living waters.”
Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
Save me, and I shall be saved,
For (E)You are my praise.
15 Indeed they say to me,
(F)“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”
16 As for me, (G)I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You,
Nor have I desired the woeful day;
You know what came out of my lips;
It was right there before You.
17 Do not be a terror to me;
(H)You are my hope in the day of doom.
18 (I)Let them be ashamed who persecute me,
But (J)do not let me be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed,
But do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of doom,
And (K)destroy[a] them with double destruction!

Lexham English Bible
The Fountain of Living Water
12 A lofty throne of glory from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Yahweh, the hope of Israel,
all those who forsake you will be put to shame,
and those who turn aside from you in the earth will be recorded,
for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, Yahweh.
14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed,
save me, and I will be saved,
for you are my praise.
15 Look, they are saying to me,
“Where is the word of Yahweh?
Please let it come.”
16 But I, I have not run away from being a shepherd who follows you,[a]
and I have not desired the disastrous day.
You, you know the pronouncement of my lips,
it was before your face.
17 You must not become to me a terror,
you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,
but as for me,[b] do not let me be put to shame.
Let them be dismayed,
but as for me,[c] do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of disaster,
and with double destruction, destroy them.
