Jeremiah 17:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Behold, [a]they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
16 But [b]I have not thrust in myself for a pastor after thee, neither have I desired the day of misery, thou knowest that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
17 Be not [c]terrible unto me: thou art mine hope in the day of adversity.
