Jeremías 17

Und doch habe ich mich dem nicht entzogen, Hirte zu sein in deiner Nachfolge, noch habe ich den unheilvollen Tag herbeigewünscht - du weißt es! Was meine Lippen vorbrachten, es liegt offen vor deinem Angesichte!

Mas yo no me entrometí á ser pastor en pos de ti, ni deseé día de calamidad, tú lo sabes. Lo que de mi boca ha salido, fué en tu presencia.

As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.

As for me, I have not hurried from being a shepherd after you. I haven’t desired the woeful day. You know. That which came out of my lips was before your face.
