Jeremiah’s Third Complaint

14 Lord, if you heal me, I surely will be healed.
    Save me, and I surely will be saved.
    Lord, I praise you!
15 The people of Judah continue to ask me questions.
    They say, “Jeremiah, what about the message from the Lord?
    Let’s see that message come true.”

16 Lord, I did not run away from you.
    I followed you.
    I became the shepherd[a] you wanted.
I did not want the terrible day to come.
    You know what I said.
    You see all that is happening.
