Jeremiah 17:12-18
Christian Standard Bible
12 A glorious throne(A)
on high(B) from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.(C)
13 Lord, the hope of Israel,(D)
all who abandon you
will be put to shame.
All who turn away from me
will be written in the dirt,
for they have abandoned
the Lord, the fountain of living water.(E)
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.

Jeremiah 17:12-18
English Standard Version
12 A glorious throne set on high from the beginning
is the place of our sanctuary.
13 O Lord, (A)the hope of Israel,
(B)all who forsake you shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from you[a] (C)shall be written in the earth,
for (D)they have forsaken (E)the Lord, the fountain of living water.
Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance
14 (F)Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for (G)you are my praise.
15 (H)Behold, they say to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come!”
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd,
nor have I desired the day of sickness.
(I)You know (J)what came out of my lips;
it was before your face.
17 Be not a terror to me;
(K)you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
18 (L)Let those be put to shame who persecute me,
but let me not be put to shame;
(M)let them be dismayed,
but let me not be dismayed;
(N)bring upon them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction!
