Jeremiah 14:19-22 - The People Plead With The Lord
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 Jehovah, we recognize our wickedness and the wrongs done by our ancestors. We have sinned against you. 21 For the sake of your name, do not despise us. Do not dishonor your glorious throne. Remember your promise to us. Do not break it. 22 The valueless gods of the nations cannot make it rain. The skies cannot give showers by themselves. But you can, O Jehovah our God. We hope in you because you do all these things.
