Jeremiah 14:7-9
English Standard Version
7 “Though our iniquities testify against us,
act, O Lord, (A)for your name's sake;
(B)for our backslidings are many;
(C)we have sinned against you.
8 (D)O you hope of Israel,
its savior in time of trouble,
why should you be like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
9 Why should you be like a man confused,
(E)like a mighty warrior who cannot save?
Yet (F)you, O Lord, are in the midst of us,
and (G)we are called by your name;
(H)do not leave us.”
Jeremiah 14:7-9
International Standard Version
The People Cry for Help
7 Lord, even though our iniquities testify against us,
do something for the sake of your name.
Indeed, our apostasies are many,
and we have sinned against you.
8 Hope of Israel,
its deliverer in time of trouble,
why are you like a stranger[a] in the land,
like a traveler who sets up his tent for a night?
9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
like a strong man who can’t deliver?
You are among us, Lord,
and your name is the one by which we’re called.
Don’t abandon us!
