Jeremiah 17:16 in context

Jeremiah 17:13–19

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.

14

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

Save me, and I will be saved;

for you are my praise.

15

Behold, they ask me,

“Where is the LORD’s word?

Let it be fulfilled now.”

16
Selected verse

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.

17

Don’t be a terror to me.

You are my refuge in the day of evil.

18

Let them be disappointed who persecute me,

but don’t let me be disappointed.

Let them be dismayed,

but don’t let me be dismayed.

Bring on them the day of evil,

and destroy them with double destruction.

19

The LORD said this to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, through which the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
