Jeremiah 17:17

Jeremiah's Plea

¹⁶
But as for me, I have not tried to escape from being a shepherd [walking] after You,
Nor have I longed for the woeful day [of judgment];
You know that, whatever I said
Was [spoken] in Your presence and was from You.
¹⁷ 
Do not be a terror to me;
You are my refuge and my hope in the day of disaster.
¹⁸
Let those who persecute me be shamed, but as for me, protect me from shame;
Let them lose courage, but let me be undaunted.
Bring on them a day of tragedy,
And destroy them with double destruction!

[Then said Jeremiah] “O Lord, my Strength and my Stronghold,

From the ends of the earth and say,
‘Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies and illusion,
[Worthless] things in which there is no benefit!’

And a refuge in the day of my distress.
