Jeremiah Prays for Deliverance

Jeremiah 17

14 God, pick up the pieces.
Put me back together again.
You are my praise!
Listen to how they talk about me:
"So where's this 'Word of God'?
We'd like to see something happen!"
But it wasn't my idea to call for Doomsday.
I never wanted trouble.
You know what I've said.
It's all out in the open before you.
Don't add to my troubles.
Give me some relief!
Let those who harass me be harassed, not me.
Let them be disgraced, not me.
Bring down upon them the day of doom.
Lower the boom. Boom!
