Jeremiah 17:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ But I, myself, have not run away from being a shepherd after You. Nor have I desired the day of misery. You know. That which came out of my lips was before You.

¹⁷ Do not be terrible to me. You are my hope in the day of adversity.

¹⁸ Let those who persecute me be confounded. But do not let me be confounded. Let them be afraid, but do not let me be afraid. Bring upon them the day of adversity and destroy them with double destruction.
