Jeremiah 17:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷Please don’t make me afraid of you.
    I depend on you in times of trouble.
¹⁸People are hurting me.
Make them ashamed,
    but don’t disappoint me.
Let them be filled with fear,
    but don’t give me any reason to fear.
Bring the terrible day of disaster to my enemies.
    Break them, and break them again.

Keeping the Sabbath Day Holy

¹⁹This is what the Lord said to me: “Jeremiah, go and stand at the People’s Gate,^[a] where the kings of Judah go in and out. Tell the people my message, and then go to all the other gates of Jerusalem and do the same.”
