# May my pursuers be ashamed, but do not let me be ashamed
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "Bring shame on my pursuers, but do not bring shame on me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
"Bring shame on my pursuers, but do not bring shame on me"
# May they be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed
This phrase means basically the same thing as the previous one and adds emphasis to Jeremiah's prayer. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "Make them very afraid, but do not make me afraid" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
"Make them very afraid, but do not make me afraid"
# shatter them with a double share of destruction
Jeremiah speaks of Yahweh destroying his enemies as if they were objects that Yahweh would shatter. The idiom "a double share" means to give twice as much. Alternate translation: "shatter them with complete destruction" or "destroy them twice as much" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom]])
"shatter them with complete destruction" or "destroy them twice as much"
