Parallel
Jeremiah 17:16
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee (note: Heb. after thee): neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
But I have not run away from being Your shepherd; I have not desired the day of despair. You know that the utterance of my lips was spoken in Your presence.
