Jeremiah 17:16-18
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
16 And I am not troubled, following thee for my pastor, and I have not desired the day of man, thou knowest. That which went out of my lips, hath been right in thy sight.
17 Be not thou a terror unto me, thou art my hope in the day of affliction.
18 Let them be confounded that persecute me, and let not me be confounded: let them be afraid, and let not me be afraid: bring upon them the day of affliction, and with a double destruction, destroy them.

Jeremiah 17:16-18
New International Version
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd;
you know I have not desired the day of despair.
What passes my lips(A) is open before you.
17 Do not be a terror(B) to me;
you are my refuge(C) in the day of disaster.(D)
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,
but keep me from shame;
let them be terrified,
but keep me from terror.
Bring on them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction.(E)
