Jeremiah 14:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ Lord, have you completely rejected Judah?
    Do you hate the people of Zion?
Why have you hurt us so badly
    that we cannot be healed?
We looked for peace, but nothing good happened;
    we hoped for healing, but terror came instead.
²⁰ We have sinned against you, Lord;
    we confess our own sins
    and the sins of our ancestors.
²¹ Remember your promises and do not despise us;
    do not bring disgrace on Jerusalem,
    the place of your glorious throne.
Do not break the covenant you made with us.
