13 O hope of Israel! O Lord!
    All who forsake you shall be put to shame;
those who turn away from you[a] shall be recorded in the underworld,[b]
    for they have forsaken the fountain of living water, the Lord.

Jeremiah Prays for Vindication

14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed;
    save me, and I shall be saved;
    for you are my praise.
15 See how they say to me,
    “Where is the word of the Lord?
    Let it come!”
