Jeremiah 14:7 - 14:9

Although our iniquities answer against us,

O Yahweh, act for Your name’s sake!

Truly our acts of faithlessness have been many;

We have sinned against You.

O Hope of Israel,

Its Savior in time of distress,

Why are You like a sojourner in the land

Or like a traveler who has pitched his tent to lodge for the night?

Why are You like a man confused,

Like a mighty man who cannot save?

Yet You are in our midst, O Yahweh,

And we are called by Your name;

Do not leave us!”
