What does Jeremiah 17:16 mean?

But I haven't tried to avoid being your messenger. I never wished for trouble to come; you know what's in my heart. Everything I said was right in front of you. Jeremiah 17:16 - Modern Text Bible

(Jeremiah defends himself to God, saying he hasn't run from his calling or secretly wanted bad things to happen. He's been honest and open with God.)
