Jeremiah 17:16

Jeremiah's Plea

¹⁵ Look, they keep saying to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”
¹⁶ But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You,
Nor have I longed for the woeful day;
You Yourself know that the utterance of my lips
Was in Your presence.
¹⁷ Do not be 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

The alarm of war.

To speak good on their behalf,
So as to turn away Your wrath from them.

Or speak anymore in His name,”

Shut up in my bones;
