16 But I, I have not run away from being a shepherd who follows you,[a]
    and I have not desired the disastrous day.
You, you know the pronouncement of my lips,
    it was before your face.
17 You must not become to me a terror,
    you are my refuge in the day of disaster.
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,
    but as for me,[b] do not let me be put to shame.
Let them be dismayed,
    but as for me,[c] do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of disaster,
    and with double destruction, destroy them.
