Jeremiah 14:17-22 - The Nation Hopes In Yahweh
17 And you shall speak this word to them: Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and do not let them cease. For the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great break, with a very grievous blow. 18 If I go out into the field, then I see those killed with the sword! And if I enter into the city, then, behold, sicknesses of famine! Yes, both the prophet and the priest have gone up into a land that they do not know.
19 Have You utterly rejected Judah? Or has Your soul hated Zion? Why have You stricken us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for the time of healing, and behold, trouble! 20 We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against You. 21 Do not abhor us for Your name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of Your glory; remember, do not break Your covenant with us. 22 Are there any among the vanities of the nations who make rain fall? Or can the heavens give showers? Is it not You, O Jehovah our God? Then we will wait on You; for You do all these things.
