14. Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed.Rescue me, and I will be rescued.You are the one I praise.
15. People keep asking me,“Where is the word of the Lord?Let it come.”
16. I have not run away from being your shepherd,and I have not longed for the day of destruction.You know what came out of my mouth.
17. Do not terrorize me.You are my refuge on the day of disaster.
18. Put my persecutors to shame,but do not let me be put to shame.Terrify them,but do not let me be terrified.Bring the day of disaster on them,and destroy them completely.
19. This is what the Lord said to me: Stand at People’s Gate, where the kings of Judah go in and out. Then stand at every gate in Jerusalem.
20. Tell everyone: “Listen to the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, all the people of Judah, and all those who live in Jerusalem, and go through these gates.
