Jeremiah 17:15-17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Behold, they say to me,
    “Where is the word of the Lord?
    Let it come!”
¹⁶ I have not pressed thee to send evil,
    nor have I desired the day of disaster,
    thou knowest;
that which came out of my lips
    was before thy face.
¹⁷ Be not a terror to me;
    thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
