Jeremiah 17:14-18 - Jeremiah's Plea
14 Heal me, O Jehovah, and I will be healed! Save me and I will be saved! For you are my song of praise. 15 Look, they keep saying to me: Where is the word of Jehovah? Let it come now! 16 I have not hurried away from being your shepherd. I have not longed for the day of destruction. You know what I used to say. 17 Do not cause me fear and anxiety. For you are my refuge in the day of disaster. 18 Let those who persecute me be put to shame. Do not let me be put to shame. Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed. Bring on them a day of disaster. Crush them with twofold destruction!
