Jeremiah 14:19–21

Have you utterly rejected Judah?

Does your soul loathe Zion?

Why have you struck us down

so that there is no healing for us?

We looked for peace, but no good came;

for a time of healing, but behold, terror.

We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,

and the iniquity of our fathers,

for we have sinned against you.

Do not spurn us, for your name’s sake;

do not dishonor your glorious throne;

remember and do not break your covenant with us.

Have you rejected Judah completely?

Do you despise Zion?

Why have you afflicted us

so that we cannot be healed?

We hoped for peace

but no good has come,

for a time of healing

but there is only terror.

We acknowledge our wickedness, Lord,

and the guilt of our ancestors;

we have indeed sinned against you.

For the sake of your name do not despise us;

do not dishonor your glorious throne.

Remember your covenant with us

and do not break it.

Have you completely rejected Judah?

Do you detest 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.

We acknowledge our wickedness, Lord,

the iniquity of our ancestors;

indeed, we have sinned against you.

For your name’s sake, don’t despise us.

Don’t disdain your glorious throne.

Remember your covenant with us;

do not break it.

Lord, have you completely rejected Judah?

Do you really hate Jerusalem?

Why have you wounded us past all hope of healing?

We hoped for peace, but no peace came.

We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror.

Lord, we confess our wickedness

and that of our ancestors, too.

We all have sinned against you.

For the sake of your reputation, Lord, do not abandon us.

Do not disgrace your own glorious throne.

Please remember us,

and do not break your covenant with us.

Have you completely rejected Judah?

Or has your soul loathed Zion?

Why have you struck us

so that there is no healing for us?

We hope for peace, but there is no good,

and for a time of healing, but look, there is terror.

We know, O Yahweh, our wickedness,

the iniquity of our ancestors,

for we have sinned against you.

You must not spurn us for the sake of your name,

you must not dishonor your glorious throne.

Remember us!

You must not break your covenant with us.

Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed 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!

We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers:

For we have sinned against thee.

Do not abhor us, for thy name’s sake,

Do not disgrace the throne of thy glory:

Remember, break not thy covenant with us.
