15. Indeed they say to me,“Where is the word of the Lord?Let it come now!”
16. As for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You,Nor have I desired the woeful day;You know what came out of my lips;It was right there before You.
17. Do not be a terror to me;You are my hope in the day of doom.
18. Let them be ashamed who persecute me,But do not let me be put to shame;Let them be dismayed,But do not let me be dismayed.Bring on them the day of doom,And destroy them with double destruction!
