Jeremiah 14:19-22
The Message
Jeremiah 14:19-22
The Message
19-22 God, have you said your final No to Judah?
Can you simply not stand Zion any longer?
If not, why have you treated us like this,
beaten us nearly to death?
We hoped for peace—
nothing good came from it;
We looked for healing—
and got kicked in the stomach.
We admit, O God, how badly we’ve lived,
and our ancestors, how bad they were.
We’ve sinned, they’ve sinned,
we’ve all sinned against you!
Your reputation is at stake! Don’t quit on us!
Don’t walk out and abandon your glorious Temple!
Remember your covenant.
Don’t break faith with us!
Can the no-gods of the godless nations cause rain?
Can the sky water the earth by itself?
You’re the one, O God, who does this.
So you’re the one for whom we wait.
You made it all,
you do it all.
Jeremiah 14:19-21
New International Version
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.
The Message (MSG)
