Jeremiah 14:7-10

Common English Bible

⁷Even though our sins testify against us,
    help us, Lord, for your name’s sake.
We have turned away from you
    and sinned against you time and again.
⁸You are the hope of Israel,
    its savior in times of trouble.
Why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a tourist spending only the night?
⁹Why are you like one taken by surprise,
    like a warrior unable to act?
Yet you are in our midst, Lord;
    we are called by your name.
    Don’t give up on us.

¹⁰This is what the Lord proclaims about this people:
Since they have loved to wander off
    and haven’t restrained themselves,
        I^[a] won’t accept them.
Now I will recall their wrongdoing
    and punish their sin.

Jeremiah 14:10 Or the Lord

Jeremiah 14:19-22

Common English Bible

¹⁹Have you completely rejected Judah?
    Do you hate Zion?
        Why then have you mortally wounded us?
We look for peace,
        but nothing good comes of it;
    for a time of healing,
        only to be terrorized.
²⁰We acknowledge our sin, Lord,
    the wrongdoing of our ancestors,
        because we have sinned against you.
²¹For your name’s sake, don’t reject us,
    don’t scorn your glorious throne.
Remember your covenant with us;
    don’t break it.
²²Can any of the false gods of the nations make it rain?
    Can the sky by itself bring showers?
Aren’t you the Lord, our God?
    You are our hope,
        since only you can do such things.
