Jeremiah 17:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ The people say to me, “Where are those threats the Lord made against us? Let him carry them out now!”

¹⁶ But, Lord, I never urged you to bring disaster on them;^[a] I did not wish a time of trouble for them. Lord, you know this; you know what I have said. ¹⁷ Do not be a terror to me; you are my place of safety when trouble comes.
