Jeremiah 14:20-22

New Century Version

²⁰ Lord, we admit that we are wicked
    and 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,
    and do not break it.
²² Do foreign idols have the power to bring rain?
    Does the sky itself have the power to send down showers?
No, it is you, Lord our God.
    You are our only hope,
    because you are the one who made all these things.
