19 Have You completely (A)rejected Judah?
Or have [a]You loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that we (B)are beyond healing?
We (C)waited for peace, but nothing good came;
And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!
20 We (D)know our wickedness, Lord,
The wrongdoing of our fathers, for (E)we have sinned against You.
21 Do not despise us, (F)for the sake of Your own name;
Do not disgrace the (G)throne of Your glory.
Remember and do not annul Your covenant with us.

  1. Jeremiah 14:19 Lit Your soul

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.
