Jeremiah 14:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 Though our (A)wrongdoings testify against us,
Lord, act (B)for the sake of Your name!
Our (C)apostasies have indeed been many,
We have (D)sinned against You.
8 (E)Hope of Israel,
Its (F)Savior in (G)time of distress,
Why are You like a stranger in the land,
Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent for the night?
9 Why are You like a confused person,
Like a warrior who (H)cannot save?
Yet (I)You are in our midst, Lord,
And we are (J)called by Your name;
Do not leave us!”
Jeremiah 14:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Although our iniquities testify against us,
act, O Lord, for your name’s sake;
our rebellions indeed are many,
and we have sinned against you.(A)
8 O hope of Israel,
its savior in time of trouble,
why should you be like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler turning aside for the night?(B)
9 Why should you be like someone confused,
like a mighty warrior who cannot give help?
Yet you, O Lord, are in the midst of us,
and we are called by your name;
do not forsake us!(C)
