Jeremiah 14:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ Lord, have you completely rejected the nation of Judah?
    Do you ·hate [^Labhor] ·Jerusalem [^LZion; ^Cthe location of the Temple]?
Why have you ·hurt us so badly [^Lstruck us]
    ·that we cannot be made well again [^Land not healed us]?
We hoped for peace,
    but nothing good has come.
We looked for a time of healing,
    but only terror came.
²⁰ Lord, we ·admit that we are wicked [^Lknow our wickedness]
    and ·that our ancestors did evil things [^Lthe iniquity of our fathers].
    We have sinned against you.
²¹ For ·your sake [^Lthe sake of your name/fame/reputation], do not ·hate [despise] us [Lev. 26:11, 30, 44].
    Do not ·take away the honor from [^Ltreat disdainfully] your glorious throne.
Remember your ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with us,
    and do not break it.
