Jeremiah 17:16

Jeremiah's Plea

¹⁵ Hear how they keep challenging me,
“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.
You know my words were spoken in Your presence.
¹⁷ Don’t become a terror to me.
You are my refuge in the day of disaster.

Before Your Face

Day of Trouble

Day Of Destruction

In Your Presence

Yet they have dug a pit for me.
Remember how I stood before You
to speak good on their behalf,
to turn Your anger from them.

Jeremiah 20:9

If I say, “I won’t mention Him
or speak any longer in His name,”
His message becomes a fire burning in my heart,
shut up in my bones.
I become tired of holding it in,
and I cannot prevail.
