Jeremiah 14:7-10

New King James Version

⁷ O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us,
Do it ^(A)for Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
^8 (B)O the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble,
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
⁹ Why should You be like a man astonished,
Like a mighty one ^(C)who cannot save?
Yet You, O Lord, ^(D)are in our midst,
And we are called by Your name;
Do not leave us!

^(E)“Thus they have loved to wander;
They have not restrained their feet.
Therefore the Lord does not accept them;
^(F)He will remember their iniquity now,
And punish their sins.”
