19 (A)Have you utterly rejected Judah?
    Does your soul loathe Zion?
Why have you struck us down
    (B)so that there is no healing for us?
(C)We looked for peace, but no good came;
    (D)for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
20 (E)We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,
    and the iniquity of our fathers,
    (F)for we have sinned against you.
21 Do not spurn us, (G)for your name's sake;
    do not dishonor your glorious throne;
    (H)remember and do not break your covenant with us.
22 Are there any among (I)the false gods of the nations (J)that can bring rain?
    Or can the heavens give showers?
Are you not he, O Lord our God?
    We set our hope on you,
    (K)for you do all these things.

19 Have You completely (A)rejected Judah?
Or have [a]You loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that we (B)are beyond healing?
We (C)waited for peace, but nothing good came;
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!
20 We (D)know our wickedness, Lord,
The wrongdoing of our fathers, for (E)we have sinned against You.
21 Do not despise us, (F)for the sake of Your own name;
Do not disgrace the (G)throne of Your glory.
Remember and do not annul Your covenant with us.
22 Are there any among the [b](H)idols of the nations who (I)give rain?
Or can the heavens grant showers?
Is it not You, Lord our God?
Therefore we (J)wait for You,
For You are the one who has done all these things.
