Jeremiah 14:7-10 (New International Version)

 ⁷ Although our sins testify against us,
       O LORD, do something for the sake of your name.
       For our backsliding is great;
       we have sinned against you.

 ⁸ O Hope of Israel,
       its Savior in times of distress,
       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?
       You are among us, O LORD,
       and we bear your name;
       do not forsake us!

 ¹⁰ This is what the LORD says about this people:
       "They greatly love to wander;
       they do not restrain their feet.
       So the LORD does not accept them;
       he will now remember their wickedness
       and punish them for their sins."
