The People Plead to the Lord

19 Have you completely rejected Judah?
    Do you despise Zion?
Why have you struck us,
    so that there is no healing for us?
We hoped for peace, but no good came,
    for a time of healing, but there was only terror.
20 We acknowledge, Lord, our wickedness,
    the guilt of our ancestors.

21 For the sake of your name[a] don’t despise us.
    Don’t dishonor your glorious throne.
        Remember, don’t break your covenant with us!
