Jeremiah 14:19-22
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)

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;

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.
