Context of Jeremiah 17:14

12But we worship at your throne— eternal, high, and glorious! 13O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who turn away from you will be disgraced. They will be buried in the dust of the earth, for they have abandoned the Lord, the fountain of living water. O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed; if you save me, I will be truly saved. My praises are for you alone! 15People scoff at me and say, “What is this ‘message from the Lord’ you talk about? Why don’t your predictions come true?” 16Lord, I have not abandoned my job as a shepherd for your people. I have not urged you to send disaster. You have heard everything I’ve said.
