Jeremiah 17:12-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 O glorious throne, exalted from the beginning,
shrine of our sanctuary!
13 O hope of Israel! O Lord!
All who forsake you shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from you[a] shall be recorded in the underworld,[b]
for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, the Lord.(A)
Jeremiah Prays for Vindication
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved,
for you are my praise.(B)
15 See how they say to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come!”(C)
16 But I have not run away from being a shepherd[c] in your service,
nor have I desired the fatal day.
You know what came from my lips;
it was before your face.
17 Do not become a terror to me;
you are my refuge in the day of disaster;(D)
18 Let my persecutors be shamed,
but do not let me be shamed;
let them be dismayed,
but do not let me be dismayed;
bring on them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction!(E)
