Jeremiah 17:12-18
Authorized (King James) Version
12 A glorious high throne from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel,
all that forsake thee shall be ashamed,
and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth,
because they have forsaken the Lord,
the fountain of living waters.
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 unto me,
Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee:
neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest:
that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
17 Be not a terror unto me:
thou art my hope in the day of evil.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me,
but let not me be confounded:
let them be dismayed,
but let not me be dismayed:
bring upon them the day of evil,
and destroy them with double destruction.
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!
