Jeremiah 17:16-18

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ But I have not run away from being Your shepherd,
and I have not longed for the fatal day.
You know my words were spoken in Your presence.
¹⁷ Don’t become a terror to me.
You are my refuge^(A) in the day of disaster.
¹⁸ Let my persecutors be put to shame,^(B)
but don’t let me be put to shame.
Let them be terrified, but don’t let me be terrified.
Bring on them the day of disaster;^(C)
shatter them with total^[a] destruction.
