Jeremiah 17:15-18
The Message
Jeremiah 17:15-18
The Message
14-18 God, pick up the pieces.
Put me back together again.
You are my praise!
Listen to how they talk about me:
“So where’s this ‘Word of God’?
We’d like to see something happen!”
But it wasn’t my idea to call for Doomsday.
I never wanted trouble.
You know what I’ve said.
It’s all out in the open before you.
Don’t add to my troubles.
Give me some relief!
Let those who harass me be harassed, not me.
Let them be disgraced, not me.
Bring down upon them the day of doom.
Lower the boom. Boom!
Jeremiah 17:15-17
New International Version
Jeremiah 17:15-17
New International Version
15 They keep saying to me,
“Where is the word of the Lord?
Let it now be fulfilled!”(A)
16 I have not run away from being your shepherd;
you know I have not desired the day of despair.
What passes my lips(B) is open before you.
17 Do not be a terror(C) to me;
you are my refuge(D) in the day of disaster.(E)
The Message (MSG)
