Context of Jeremiah 17:14

12A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning, Is the place of our sanctuary (the temple). 13O Lord, the hope of Israel, All who abandon You will be shamed. Those who turn away on earth will be written down, Because they have abandoned the Lord, the fountain of living waters. Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; Save me and I will be saved, For You are my praise. 15Behold, they keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the Lord [that is, the disaster that you prophesied]? Let it come now!” 16But as for me, I have not tried to escape from being a shepherd [walking] after You, Nor have I longed for the woeful day [of judgment]; You know that, whatever I said Was [spoken] in Your presence and was from You.
