12 From the very beginning, our Temple
    has been a glorious throne for God.
    It is a very important place.
13 Lord, you are the hope of Israel.
    You are like a spring of living water.
Those who stop following the Lord
    will have a very short life.[a]

Jeremiah’s Third Complaint

    Save me, and I surely will be saved.
    Lord, I praise you!

Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 17:13 will have a very short life Literally, “he will be written in the dirt.” This might mean that a person’s name was written on a list of people who would soon die, or that a person’s life will soon be gone—like a name written in the sand.
