Jeremiah 14:7-9

New International Version - UK

⁷ Although our sins testify against us,
    do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.
For we have often rebelled;
    we have sinned against you.
⁸ You who are the hope of Israel,
    its Saviour in times of distress,
why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveller who stays only a night?
⁹ Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
    like a warrior powerless to save?
You are among us, Lord,
    and we bear your name;
    do not forsake us!
