Jeremiah 17:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ I have not run away from being your shepherd,
and I have not longed for the day of destruction.
You know what came out of my mouth.
¹⁷ Do not terrorize me.
You are my refuge on the day of disaster.
¹⁸ Put my persecutors to shame,
but do not let me be put to shame.
Terrify them,
but do not let me be terrified.
Bring the day of disaster on them,
and destroy them completely.
