Jeremiah 14:7-9

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁷ Though our iniquities testify against us,
Lord, act for your name’s sake.
Indeed, our rebellions^(A) are many;
we have sinned against you.^(B)
8 Hope of Israel,^(C)
its Saviour in time of distress,
why are you like a resident foreigner in the land,
like a traveller stopping only for the night?
⁹ Why are you like a helpless man,
like a warrior unable to save?^(D)
Yet you are among us, Lord,^(E)
and we bear your name.
Don’t leave us!
