Jeremiah 14:19-22
Modern English Version
The People Ask for Mercy
19 Have You utterly rejected Judah?
Has Your soul loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us
so that there is no healing for us?
We looked for peace,
but there was nothing good;
and for the time of healing,
but there is trouble!
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness
and the iniquity of our fathers,
for we have sinned against You.
21 Do not abhor us. For Your name’s sake,
do not disgrace Your glorious throne.
Remember and do not break
Your covenant with us.
22 Are there any among the idols of the nations that can cause rain?
Or can the heavens give showers?
Is it not You, O Lord our God?
Therefore, we will wait upon You,
for You have done all these things.
Jeremiah 14:19-22
Authorized (King James) Version
19 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah?
hath thy soul lothed Zion?
why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us?
we looked for peace, and there is no good;
and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness,
and the iniquity of our fathers:
for we have sinned against thee.
21 Do not abhor us, for thy name’s sake,
do not disgrace the throne of thy glory:
remember, break not thy covenant with us.
22 Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain?
or can the heavens give showers?
art not thou he, O Lord our God?
therefore we will wait upon thee:
for thou hast made all these things.
