Jeremiah 17:16-18

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁶ As for me, I have not run away
from being a shepherd who follows you;
you know I didn’t want this fatal day;
what came from my lips has been clear to you.
¹⁷ So do not be my ruin,
you, my refuge on the day of disaster.
¹⁸ Let my persecutors be ashamed, not me;
let them be terrified, not me.
Bring on them the day of disaster,
destroy them with double destruction.
