OLD TESTAMENT · VERSE 13

Jeremiah 17:13

LORD, the hope of Israel,

all who forsake you will be disappointed.

Those who depart from me will be written in the earth,

because they have forsaken the LORD,

the spring of living waters.

THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Jeremiah 17:13 in context

Jeremiah 17:10–16

“I, the LORD, search the mind.

I try the heart,

even to give every man according to his ways,

according to the fruit of his doings.”

As the partridge that sits on eggs which she has not laid,

so is he who gets riches, and not by right.

In the middle of his days, they will leave him.

At his end, he will be a fool.

A glorious throne, set on high from the beginning,

is the place of our sanctuary.

Selected verse

LORD, the hope of Israel,

all who forsake you will be disappointed.

Those who depart from me will be written in the earth,

because they have forsaken the LORD,

the spring of living waters.

Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed.

Save me, and I will be saved;

for you are my praise.

Behold, they ask me,

“Where is the LORD’s word?

Let it be fulfilled now.”

As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you.

I haven’t desired the woeful day. You know.

That which came out of my lips was before your face.
