Jeremiah 14:7-9
New International Reader's Version
Jeremiah 14:7-9
New International Reader's Version
7 Lord, our sins are a witness against us.
But do something for the honor of your name.
We have often turned away from you.
We’ve sinned against you.
8 You are Israel’s only hope.
You save us when we’re in trouble.
Why are you like a stranger to us?
Why are you like a traveler who stays for only one night?
9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise?
Why are you like a soldier who can’t save anyone?
Lord, you are among us.
And we are your people.
Please don’t desert us!

Jeremiah 14:7-9
New International Version
7 Although our sins testify(A) against us,
do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.(B)
For we have often rebelled;(C)
we have sinned(D) against you.
8 You who are the hope(E) of Israel,
its Savior(F) in times of distress,(G)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler who stays only a night?
9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
like a warrior powerless to save?(H)
You are among(I) us, Lord,
and we bear your name;(J)
do not forsake(K) us!
