Jeremiah 17:14-18 - Jeremiah's Plea
14 Heal me, Yahweh, and I will be healed, save me, and I will be saved, for you [are] my praise. 15 Look, they [are] saying to me, "Where [is] the word of Yahweh? Please let it come." 16 But I, I have not run away from being a shepherd {who follows you}, and I have not desired the disastrous day. You, you know the pronouncement of my lips, it was before your face. 17 You must not become to me a terror, you [are] my refuge in [the] day of disaster. 18 Let my persecutors be put to shame, {but as for me}, [do] not let me be put to shame. Let them be dismayed, {but as for me}, [do] not let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of disaster, and [with] double destruction, destroy them.
