19 Have You completely (A)rejected Judah?
Or [a]have You loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that (B)there is no healing for us?
We (C)hoped for peace, but there was no good;
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!
20 We (D)know our wickedness, O Yahweh,
The iniquity of our fathers, for (E)we have sinned against You.
21 Do not [b]despise us, (F)for Your own name’s sake;
Do not disgrace the (G)throne of Your glory;
Remember and do not break Your covenant with us.
