Jeremiah 17:12-18

Scripture Passage: Jeremiah 17:12-18 (NASB)

12 A glorious throne on high from the beginning
Is the place of our sanctuary.
13 Lord, the hope of Israel,
All who abandon You will be put to shame.
Those who turn [a]away on earth will be written down,
Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, that is the Lord.
14 Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
Save me and I will be saved,
For You are my praise.
15 Look, they keep saying to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”
16 But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd following after You,
Nor have I longed for the disastrous day;
You Yourself know that the utterance of my lips
Was in Your presence.
17 Do not be a terror to me;
You are my refuge in a day of disaster.
18 Let those who persecute me be put to shame, but as for me, let me not be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed.
Bring on them a day of disaster,
And crush them with double destruction!
