Jeremiah 14:19-22
Christian Standard Bible
19 Have you completely rejected Judah?
Do you detest(A) Zion?
Why do you strike us
with no hope of healing for us?
We hoped for peace,
but there was nothing good;
for a time of healing,
but there was only terror.(B)
20 We acknowledge our wickedness, Lord,
the iniquity of our ancestors;(C)
indeed, we have sinned against you.
21 For your name’s sake, don’t despise us.
Don’t disdain your glorious throne.(D)
Remember your covenant(E) with us;
do not break it.
22 Can any of the worthless idols of the nations(F) bring rain?
Or can the skies alone give showers?
Are you not the Lord our God?
We therefore put our hope in you,(G)
for you have done all these things.
Jeremiah 14:19-22
Common English Bible
19 Have you completely rejected Judah?
Do you hate Zion?
Why then have you mortally wounded us?
We look for peace,
but nothing good comes of it;
for a time of healing,
only to be terrorized.
20 We acknowledge our sin, Lord,
the wrongdoing of our ancestors,
because we have sinned against you.
21 For your name’s sake, don’t reject us,
don’t scorn your glorious throne.
Remember your covenant with us;
don’t break it.
22 Can any of the false gods of the nations make it rain?
Can the sky by itself bring showers?
Aren’t you the Lord, our God?
You are our hope,
since only you can do such things.
