A Word

Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise.

Jeremiah 17:14BSB

What it means

If the LORD heals, the healing is real and complete. Jeremiah asks plainly and rests his case on who God is to him: his praise.

Jeremiah prays this while mocked for his message, just after declaring that the human heart is deceitful and beyond cure. Only the LORD can heal it.
