Jeremiah 14:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹Why are you like someone who has been attacked by surprise,
    like a warrior who is not able to ·save anyone [be victorious]?
But you are among us, Lord,
    and we are called by your name
    so don’t ·leave us without help [forsake us]!

¹⁰This is what the Lord says about this people [^Cof Judah]:

“They really love to wander from me;
    they don’t ·stop themselves from leaving me [^Lrestrain their feet].
So now the Lord will not ·accept [be pleased with] them.
    He will now remember ·the evil they do [their iniquity]
    and will punish them for their sins.”
