Jeremiah 17:15-17

Modern English Version

¹⁵ See how they say to me,
    “Where is the word of the Lord?
    Let it come now!”
¹⁶ As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You,
    nor have I desired the woeful day;
    You Yourself know that which came out of my lips was in Your presence.
¹⁷ Do not be a terror to me;
    You are my hope in the day of disaster.
