Jeremiah 14:7-10

New International Version

⁷ Although our sins testify^(A) against us,
    do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.^(B)
For we have often rebelled;^(C)
    we have sinned^(D) against you.
⁸ You who are the hope^(E) of Israel,
    its Savior^(F) in times of distress,^(G)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who stays only a night?
⁹ Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
    like a warrior powerless to save?^(H)
You are among^(I) us, Lord,
    and we bear your name;^(J)
    do not forsake^(K) us!

“They greatly love to wander;
    they do not restrain their feet.^(L)
So the Lord does not accept^(M) them;
    he will now remember^(N) their wickedness
    and punish them for their sins.”^(O)
