Jeremiah 14:7-9
English Standard Version
7 “Though our iniquities testify against us,
act, O Lord, (A)for your name's sake;
(B)for our backslidings are many;
(C)we have sinned against you.
8 (D)O you hope of Israel,
its savior in time of trouble,
why should you be like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
9 Why should you be like a man confused,
(E)like a mighty warrior who cannot save?
Yet (F)you, O Lord, are in the midst of us,
and (G)we are called by your name;
(H)do not leave us.”
Jeremiah 14:7-9
New Living Translation
7 The people say, “Our wickedness has caught up with us, Lord,
but help us for the sake of your own reputation.
We have turned away from you
and sinned against you again and again.
8 O Hope of Israel, our Savior in times of trouble,
why are you like a stranger to us?
Why are you like a traveler passing through the land,
stopping only for the night?
9 Are you also confused?
Is our champion helpless to save us?
You are right here among us, Lord.
We are known as your people.
Please don’t abandon us now!”
