Jeremiah 14:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Hast thou utterly rejected [a]Judah, or hath thy soul abhorred Zion? why hast thou smitten us, that we cannot be healed? We looked for peace, and there is no good, and for the time of health, and behold trouble.
20 We [b]acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
21 Do not abhor us: for thy Name’s sake cast not down the throne of thy glory: remember and break not thy covenant with us.

- Jeremiah 14:19 Though the Prophet knew that God had cast off the multitude, which were hypocrites, and bastard children, yet he was assured that for his promise sake he would have still a Church, for the which he prayeth.
- Jeremiah 14:20 He teacheth the Church a form of prayer to humble themselves to God by true repentance, which is the only means to avoid this famine, which was the beginning of God’s plagues.
Jeremiah 14:19-21
New International Version
19 Have you rejected Judah completely?(A)
Do you despise Zion?
Why have you afflicted us
so that we cannot be healed?(B)
We hoped for peace
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(C)
20 We acknowledge(D) our wickedness, Lord,
and the guilt of our ancestors;(E)
we have indeed sinned(F) against you.
21 For the sake of your name(G) do not despise us;
do not dishonor your glorious throne.(H)
Remember your covenant(I) with us
and do not break it.
