Jeremiah 14:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ We acknowledge our wickedness, O Lord,
    the iniquity of our ancestors,
    for we have sinned against you.
²¹ Do not spurn us, for your name’s sake;
    do not dishonor your glorious throne;
    remember and do not break your covenant with us.
²² Can any idols of the nations bring rain?
    Or can the heavens give showers?
Is it not you, O Lord our God?
    We set our hope on you,
    for it is you who do all this.
