Jeremiah 17:14-18 - Jeremiah's Plea

¹⁴ Heal thou me O Yahweh, that I may be healed, Save me that I may be saved, - For, my praise, thou art! ¹⁵ Lo! they, are saying unto me, - Where is the word of Yahweh? Pray thee let it come to pass! ¹⁶ But as for me, I have neither forced myself away from tending the flock after thee, Nor yet for the woeful day, have I longed - thou, knowest, - That which came out of my lips, before thy face, was uttered. ¹⁷ Do not thou become to me a terror, - My refuge, art thou, in the day of calamity. ¹⁸ Let my persecutors, turn pale, hut let not me, turn pale, Let, them, be terrified, but let not, me, be terrified, - Bring thou upon them a day of calamity, And with a double fracture, destroy them.
