Jeremiah 17:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ I haven’t run away from being your shepherd,^[a]
    and I haven’t longed for the day of sickness.^[b]
You know what comes out from my lips,
    it’s open before you.^[c]
17 Don’t be a terror to me.
    You are my refuge in a day of trouble.
¹⁸ Let those who pursue me be put to shame,
    but don’t put me to shame.
Let them be terrified,
    but don’t let me be terrified.
Bring the day of judgment^[d] on them,
    and destroy them with double destruction!
