Jeremiah 14:19-22
New American Standard Bible
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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The People Plead for Mercy
19 Have you completely rejected Judah?
Does your heart loathe Zion?
Why have you struck us down
so that there is no healing for us?
We look for peace but find no good,
for a time of healing, but there is terror instead.(A)
20 We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,
the iniquity of our ancestors,
for we have sinned against you.(B)
21 Do not spurn us, for your name’s sake;
do not dishonor your glorious throne;
remember and do not break your covenant with us.(C)
22 Can any idols of the nations bring rain,
or can the heavens give showers?
Is it not you, O Lord our God?
We set our hope on you,
for it is you who do all this.(D)
