Jeremiah 14:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 We [a]acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
21 Do not abhor us: for thy Name’s sake cast not down the throne of thy glory: remember and break not thy covenant with us.
22 Are there any among the [b]vanities of the Gentiles, that can give rain? or can the heavens give showers? Is it not thou, O Lord our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
