Jeremiah 17:14-19 New International Version (NIV)

14. Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.

15. They keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the Lord? Let it now be fulfilled!”

16. I have not run away from being your shepherd; you know I have not desired the day of despair. What passes my lips is open before you.

17. Do not be a terror to me; you are my refuge in the day of disaster.

18. Let my persecutors be put to shame, but keep me from shame; let them be terrified, but keep me from terror. Bring on them the day of disaster; destroy them with double destruction.

19. This is what the Lord said to me: “Go and stand at the Gate of the People, through which the kings of Judah go in and out; stand also at all the other gates of Jerusalem.
