Jeremiah 17:12-18

12A glorious high throne from the beginning Is the place of our sanctuary.

13O Lord, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You shall be ashamed. “Those who depart from Me Shall be written in the earth, Because they have forsaken the Lord, The fountain of living waters.”

14Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.

15Indeed they say to me, “Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come now!”

16As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You, Nor have I desired the woeful day; You know what came out of my lips; It was right there before You.

17Do not be a terror to me; You are my hope in the day of doom.

18Let them be ashamed who persecute me, But do not let me be put to shame; Let them be dismayed, But do not let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of doom, And destroy them with double destruction!
