Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance

14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
Save me, and I shall be saved,
For (A)You are my praise.
15 Indeed they say to me,
(B)“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it come now!”
16 As for me, (C)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.
17 Do not be a terror to me;
(D)You are my hope in the day of doom.
18 (E)Let them be ashamed who persecute me,
But (F)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 (G)destroy[a] them with double destruction!
