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
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The People Plead for Mercy
19 Have you completely rejected Judah?
Does your heart loathe Zion?
Why have you struck us down
so that there is no healing for us?
We look for peace but find no good,
for a time of healing, but there is terror instead.(A)
20 We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,
the iniquity of our ancestors,
for we have sinned against you.(B)
21 Do not spurn us, for your name’s sake;
do not dishonor your glorious throne;
remember and do not break your covenant with us.(C)
22 Can any idols of the nations bring rain,
or can the heavens give showers?
Is it not you, O Lord our God?
We set our hope on you,
for it is you who do all this.(D)
