Jeremiah 14:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible
7 Although our (A)iniquities answer against us,
O Yahweh, act (B)for Your name’s sake!
Truly our (C)acts of faithlessness have been many;
We have (D)sinned against You.
8 O (E)Hope of Israel,
Its (F)Savior in (G)time of distress,
Why are You like a sojourner in the land
Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent to lodge for the night?
9 Why are You like a man confused,
Like a mighty man who (H)cannot save?
Yet (I)You are in our midst, O Yahweh,
And we are (J)called by Your name;
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!
