Jeremiah 17:15-17

Tree of Life Version

¹⁵ Look, they are saying to me,
    “Where is the word of Adonai?
    Let it come now!”^[a]
16 As for me, I have not run away from being a shepherd after You,
    nor have I desired the woeful day.
    What came out of my lips You know—it was before You.
¹⁷ Be not a ruin to me—
    You are my refuge in the evil day.
