Jeremiah 17:12-18
12aA glorious throne on high from the beginningIs the place of our sanctuary.13O Yahweh, the ahope of Israel,All who bforsake You will be put to shame.Those who turn 1away on earth will be cwritten downBecause they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even Yahweh.14aHeal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed;bSave me and I will be saved,For You are my cpraise.15Behold, they keep asaying to me,“Where is the word of Yahweh?Let it come now!”16But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You,Nor have I longed for the 1sickening day;aYou Yourself know that the utterance of my lipsWas in Your presence.17Do not be a aterror to me;You are my brefuge in the day of calamity.18Let those who pursue me be aput to shame, but as for me, blet me not be put to shame;Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed.cBring on them a day of calamity,And 1crush them with twofold 2crushing!
