Jeremiah 17:14-16

The Voice

¹⁴     Heal me, O Eternal One, and I will be healed.
        You alone can save me; to You alone do I sing my praise.
¹⁵     The scoffers keep mocking me, saying,
        “Where is the word of the Eternal you keep talking about?
        Why haven’t His words come to pass?”
¹⁶     You know I have not run from my calling—
        I have been a shepherd to Your people as You commanded.
        I have not secretly desired the day of disaster and sorrow.
    You know everything I’ve spoken to these people,
        because it was the task You’d set before me.
