Jeremiah 17:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ They keep saying to me,
    “What has happened to the message the Lord gave you?
    Let it come true right now!”
¹⁶ I haven’t run away from being the shepherd of your people.
    You know I haven’t wanted the day of Jerusalem’s fall to come.
    You are aware of every word that comes from my lips.
¹⁷ Don’t be a terror to me.
    When I’m in trouble, I go to you for safety.
