Jeremiah 14:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ Have you completely rejected Judah?
    Do you hate Zion?
        Why then have you mortally wounded us?
We look for peace,
        but nothing good comes of it;
    for a time of healing,
        only to be terrorized.
²⁰ We acknowledge our sin, Lord,
    the wrongdoing of our ancestors,
        because we have sinned against you.
²¹ For your name’s sake, don’t reject us,
    don’t scorn your glorious throne.
Remember your covenant with us;
    don’t break it.
