Jeremiah 17:15-18

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.

17Lord, don’t terrorize me! You alone are my hope in the day of disaster.

18Bring shame and dismay on all who persecute me, but don’t let me experience shame and dismay. Bring a day of terror on them. Yes, bring double destruction upon them!
