Jeremiah 14:19-22
New King James Version
The People Plead for Mercy
19 (A)Have You utterly rejected Judah?
Has Your soul loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that (B)there is no healing for us?
(C)We looked for peace, but there was no good;
And for the time of healing, and there was trouble.
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness
And the iniquity of our (D)fathers,
For (E)we have sinned against You.
21 Do not abhor us, for Your name’s sake;
Do not disgrace the throne of Your glory.
(F)Remember, do not break Your covenant with us.
22 (G)Are there any among (H)the idols of the nations that can cause (I)rain?
Or can the heavens give showers?
(J)Are You not He, O Lord our God?
Therefore we will wait for You,
Since You have made all these.
Jeremiah 14:19-22
21st Century King James Version
19 Hast Thou utterly rejected Judah? Hath Thy soul loathed Zion? Why hast Thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold, trouble!
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against Thee.
21 Do not abhor us, for Thy name’s sake; do not disgrace the throne of Thy glory; remember, break not Thy covenant with us.
22 Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Art not Thou He, O Lord our God? Therefore we will wait upon Thee, for Thou hast made all these things.
