Jeremiah 14:19-22
World English Bible
19 Have you utterly rejected Judah?
Has your soul loathed Zion?
Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us?
We looked for peace, but no good came;
and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
20 We acknowledge, Yahweh, our wickedness,
and the iniquity of our fathers;
for we have sinned against you.
21 Do not abhor us, for your name’s sake.
Do not disgrace the throne of your glory.
Remember, and don’t break your covenant with us.
22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain?
Or can the sky give showers?
Aren’t you he, Yahweh our God?
Therefore we will wait for you;
for you have made all these things.
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.
