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, O Lord,
The iniquity of our fathers, for (E)we have sinned against You.
21 Do not despise us, (F)for Your own name’s sake;
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, O Lord our God?
Therefore we [c](J)hope in You,
For You are the one who has done all these things.
