Jeremiah 14:19-22

19Have you completely rejected Judah? Do you despise Zion? Why have you struck us so hard that we cannot heal? We hope for peace, but no good comes from it. We hope for a time of healing, but there’s only terror.

20O Lord, we realize our wickedness and the wrongs done by our ancestors. We have sinned against you.

21For the sake of your name, don’t despise us. Don’t dishonor your glorious throne. Remember your promise  to us; don’t break it.

22The worthless gods of the nations can’t make it rain. By themselves, the skies can’t give showers. But you can, O Lord our God. We have hope in you because you do all these things.
