Jeremiah 17:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 Lord, I have not stopped taking care of your people.
I have never asked you to destroy them on one final day.
You know that,
and you know everything that I have said.
17 Please do not make me afraid!
When I am in trouble,
I run to you to be safe.
18 Please bring shame on those who want to hurt me.
Do not make me ashamed.
Make those people afraid,
but do not make me afraid.
Destroy them with a time of great trouble.
Punish them completely!
Jeremiah 17:16-18

Jeremiah 17:16-18
New International Version
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd;
you know I have not desired the day of despair.
What passes my lips(A) is open before you.
17 Do not be a terror(B) to me;
you are my refuge(C) in the day of disaster.(D)
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame,
but keep me from shame;
let them be terrified,
but keep me from terror.
Bring on them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction.(E)
