Jeremiah 14:7-9

New International Version

⁷Although our sins testify^(A) against us,
    do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.^(B)
For we have often rebelled;^(C)
    we have sinned^(D) against you.
⁸You who are the hope^(E) of Israel,
    its Savior^(F) in times of distress,^(G)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who stays only a night?
⁹Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
    like a warrior powerless to save?^(H)
You are among^(I) us, Lord,
    and we bear your name;^(J)
    do not forsake^(K) us!

Jeremiah 14:7-9

International Standard Version

The People Cry for Help

⁷Lord, 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.
⁸Hope 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?
⁹Why 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!
