Jeremiah 14:21

The Nation Hopes In Yahweh

²⁰
We know and acknowledge, O Lord,
Our wickedness and the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against You.
²¹ 
Do not treat us with contempt and condemn us, for Your own name’s sake;
Do not disgrace Your glorious throne;
Remember [with consideration] and do not break Your [solemn] covenant with us.
²²
Are there any among the idols of the nations who can send rain?
Or can the heavens [of their own will] give showers?
Is it not You, O Lord our God?
Therefore we will wait and hope [confidently] in You,
For You are the one who has made all these things [the heavens and the rain].
