Jeremiah 14:19-22
Christian Standard Bible
19 Have you completely rejected Judah?
Do you detest(A) Zion?
Why do you strike us
with no hope of healing for us?
We hoped for peace,
but there was nothing good;
for a time of healing,
but there was only terror.(B)
20 We acknowledge our wickedness, Lord,
the iniquity of our ancestors;(C)
indeed, we have sinned against you.
21 For your name’s sake, don’t despise us.
Don’t disdain your glorious throne.(D)
Remember your covenant(E) with us;
do not break it.
22 Can any of the worthless idols of the nations(F) bring rain?
Or can the skies alone give showers?
Are you not the Lord our God?
We therefore put our hope in you,(G)
for you have done all these things.
Jeremiah 14:19-22
International Standard Version
The People Plead to the Lord
19 Have you completely rejected Judah?
Do you despise Zion?
Why have you struck us,
so that there is no healing for us?
We hoped for peace, but no good came,
for a time of healing, but there was only terror.
20 We acknowledge, Lord, our wickedness,
the guilt of our ancestors.
Indeed, we have sinned against you.
21 For the sake of your name[a] don’t despise us.
Don’t dishonor your glorious throne.
Remember, don’t break your covenant with us!
22 Can any of the worthless gods of the nations make it rain?
Can the heavens themselves bring forth showers?
Aren’t you the one who does this,[b]
Lord our God?
So we hope in you,
for you are the one who does all these things.
