Jeremiah 14:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Lord, have you completely rejected the nation of Judah?
    Do you hate Jerusalem?
Why have you hurt us so badly
    that we cannot be made well again?
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 very wicked.
    We admit that our ancestors did evil things.
    We have sinned against you.
²¹ For your sake, do not hate us.
    Do not take away the honor from your glorious throne.
Remember your agreement with us.
    Do not break it.
