Jeremiah 17:12-14
Contemporary English Version

Jeremiah Prays to the Lord

12 Our Lord, your temple
    is a glorious throne
that has stood on a mountain
    from the beginning.
13 You are a spring of water
    giving Israel life and hope.
But if the people reject
    what you have told me,
they will be swept away
    like words written in dust.[a]

14 You, Lord, are the one I praise.
    So heal me and rescue me!
Then I will be completely well
    and perfectly safe.
