Jeremiah 17:16-18

Common English Bible

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.
¹⁷ Don’t terrorize me;
    you are my refuge in time of disaster.
¹⁸ Let my tormentors be disgraced, but not me;
    let them be terrorized, but not me.
Bring on them the time of disaster,
    as they deserve; destroy them repeatedly.
