Jeremiah 14:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
7 Though our iniquities testify against us,
Lord, act for your name’s sake.
Indeed, our rebellions(A) are many;
we have sinned against you.(B)
8 Hope of Israel,(C)
its Savior in time of distress,
why are you like a resident alien in the land,
like a traveler stopping only for the night?
9 Why are you like a helpless man,
like a warrior unable to save?(D)
Yet you are among us, Lord,(E)
and we bear your name.
Don’t leave us!
Jeremiah 14:7-9
New Living Translation
7 The people say, “Our wickedness has caught up with us, Lord,
but help us for the sake of your own reputation.
We have turned away from you
and sinned against you again and again.
8 O Hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble,
why are you like a stranger to us?
Why are you like a traveler passing through the land,
stopping only for the night?
9 Are you also confused?
Is our champion helpless to save us?
You are right here among us, Lord.
We are known as your people.
Please don’t abandon us now!”
