Jeremiah 14:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 Though our (A)wrongdoings testify against us,
Lord, act (B)for the sake of Your name!
Our (C)apostasies have indeed been many,
We have (D)sinned against You.
8 (E)Hope of Israel,
Its (F)Savior in (G)time of distress,
Why are You like a stranger in the land,
Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent for the night?
9 Why are You like a confused person,
Like a warrior who (H)cannot save?
Yet (I)You are in our midst, Lord,
And we are (J)called by Your name;
Do not 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.
