Jeremiah 17:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Heal me, Lord, and I’ll be healed.
    Save me and I’ll be saved,
        for you are my heart’s desire.
¹⁵ See how they harass me:
    “Where’s the Lord’s word?
        Let it come now!”
¹⁶ Yet I didn’t urge you to bring disaster;^[a]
    I didn’t want the calamity to happen.
You know what comes out of my mouth;
    it’s always before you.
