Jeremiah 32:17-23

17I said, ‘Lord God, you used your great power and strength to make the earth and the sky. Nothing is too difficult for you to do.

18You show your faithful love to thousands of people. But you also punish people for the sins that their ancestors did in past times. You are the great and powerful God, the Lord Almighty.

19You have wise thoughts and you do great things. You see everything that people do. You see how they live. You give everyone what they deserve.

20You did powerful miracles in Egypt, and we still remember them today. In this way you continue to be famous in Israel and everywhere in the world.

21You used your great power and strength to bring your people out of Egypt. You did miracles that showed your power. It caused the Egyptians to be very afraid.

22You gave this land to the Israelites, as you had promised to their ancestors. It was a land where there was plenty of food and drink, enough for everyone.

23Your people moved in to the land and they made it their home. But they did not obey you. They did not live in the way that your law taught them. They did not do the things that you commanded them to do. Because of that, you caused them to have all this terrible trouble.
