Jeremiah 14:7-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 Though our guilt testifies against us,
Yahweh, act for Your name’s sake.
Indeed, our rebellions(A) are many;
we have sinned against You.
8 Hope of Israel,(B)
its Savior in time of distress,
why are You like a foreigner 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?(C)
Yet You are among us, Yahweh,(D)
and we are called by Your name.
Don’t leave us!
Jeremiah 14:7-9
Common English Bible
7 Even though our sins testify against us,
help us, Lord, for your name’s sake.
We have turned away from you
and sinned against you time and again.
8 You are the hope of Israel,
its savior in times of trouble.
Why are you like a stranger in the land,
like a tourist spending only the night?
9 Why are you like one taken by surprise,
like a warrior unable to act?
Yet you are in our midst, Lord;
we are called by your name.
Don’t give up on us.
