Jeremiah 17:15-17
The Voice
15 The scoffers keep mocking me, saying,
“Where is the word of the Eternal you keep talking about?
Why haven’t His words come to pass?”
16 You know I have not run from my calling—
I have been a shepherd to Your people as You commanded.
I have not secretly desired the day of disaster and sorrow.
You know everything I’ve spoken to these people,
because it was the task You’d set before me.
17 Do not turn and terrify me.
Be my refuge when the dreaded day of reckoning comes.
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)
Jeremiah 17:15-17
King James Version
15 Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.
16 As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
