Jeremiah 17:12-18
World English Bible
12 A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning,
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Yahweh, the hope of Israel,
all who forsake you will be disappointed.
Those who depart from me will be written in the earth,
because they have forsaken Yahweh,
the spring of living waters.
14 Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed.
Save me, and I will be saved;
for you are my praise.
15 Behold, they ask me,
“Where is Yahweh’s word?
Let it be fulfilled now.”
16 As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you.
I haven’t desired the woeful day. You know.
That which came out of my lips was before your face.
17 Don’t be a terror to me.
You are my refuge in the day of evil.
18 Let them be disappointed who persecute me,
but let not me be disappointed.
Let them be dismayed,
but don’t let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of evil,
and destroy them with double destruction.

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.
