Jeremiah 14:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ Have you rejected Judah, Lord?
    Do you hate Jerusalem?
Why did you strike down Judah
    with a fatal wound?
We had hoped for peace
and a time of healing,
    but all we got was terror.
²⁰ We and our ancestors are guilty
    of rebelling against you.
²¹ If you save us, it will show
    how great you are.
Don't let our enemies
disgrace your temple,
    your beautiful throne.
Don't forget that you promised
    to rescue us.
