Jeremiah 14:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ We have sinned against you, Lord;
    we confess our own sins
    and the sins of our ancestors.
²¹ Remember your promises and do not despise us;
    do not bring disgrace on Jerusalem,
    the place of your glorious throne.
Do not break the covenant you made with us.
²² None of the idols of the nations can send rain;
    the sky by itself cannot make showers fall.
We have put our hope in you, O Lord our God,
    because you are the one who does these things.
