The People Plead for Mercy

19 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah?
    Does thy soul loathe Zion?
Why hast thou smitten us
    so that there is no healing for us?
We looked for peace, but no good came;
    for a time of healing, but behold, terror.
20 We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,
    and the iniquity of our fathers,

21 Do not spurn us, for thy name’s sake;
    do not dishonor thy glorious throne;
    remember and do not break thy covenant with us.
