Jeremiah 17:14-18 - Jeremiah's Plea
14 Heal me, LORD, and I'll be healed; deliver me, and I'll be delivered, because you are my praise. 15 Look, they're saying to me, "Where is the message from the LORD? Let it come about!" 16 I haven't run away from being your shepherd, and I haven't longed for the day of sickness. You know what comes out from my lips, it's open before you. 17 Don't be a terror to me. You are my refuge in a day of trouble. 18 Let those who pursue me be put to shame, but don't put me to shame. Let them be terrified, but don't let me be terrified. Bring the day of judgment on them, and destroy them with double destruction!
