14 Lord, if you heal me, I surely will be healed.
    Save me, and I surely will be saved.

    They say, “Jeremiah, what about the message from the Lord?
    Let’s see that message come true.”

Footnotes

  1. Jeremiah 17:13 will have a very short life Literally, “he will be written in the dirt.” This might mean that a person’s name was written on a list of people who would soon die, or that a person’s life will soon be gone—like a name written in the sand.
