19 Have you completely rejected Judah?
    Do you despise Zion?
    Why have you struck us so hard that we cannot heal?
    We hope for peace, but no good comes from it.
    We hope for a time of healing, but there’s only terror.
20 O Yahweh, we realize our wickedness
    and the wrongs done by our ancestors.
        We have sinned against you.
21 For the sake of your name, don’t despise us.
    Don’t dishonor your glorious throne.
    Remember your promise[a] to us; don’t break it.
