Jeremiah 17:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow Thee; neither have I desired the woeful day, Thou knowest; that which came out of my lips was right before Thee.

¹⁷ Be not a terror unto me; Thou art my hope in the day of evil.

¹⁸ Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed. Bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
