Jeremiah 14:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ You are the one that we Israelites hope to give us help.
    You are the one who saves us when we are in trouble.
But now you live among us like a foreigner.
    You are like a visitor who stays for only one night.
⁹ You seem to be like a helpless person.
    You are like a brave fighter who has lost his strength to save anyone.
But surely you are among us, Lord.
    We belong to you as your own people.
Do not leave us alone!’
