Jeremiah 14:7-9
The Message
Jeremiah 14:7-9
The Message
7-9 We know we’re guilty. We’ve lived bad lives—
but do something, God. Do it for your sake!
Time and time again we’ve betrayed you.
No doubt about it—we’ve sinned against you.
Hope of Israel! Our only hope!
Israel’s last chance in this trouble!
Why are you acting like a tourist,
taking in the sights, here today and gone tomorrow?
Why do you just stand there and stare,
like someone who doesn’t know what to do in a crisis?
But God, you are, in fact, here, here with us!
You know who we are—you named us!
Don’t leave us without a leg to stand on.
Jeremiah 14:7-9
New International Version
Jeremiah 14:7-9
New International Version
7 Although our sins testify(A) against us,
do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.(B)
For we have often rebelled;(C)
we have sinned(D) against you.
8 You who are the hope(E) of Israel,
its Savior(F) in times of distress,(G)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler who stays only a night?
9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
like a warrior powerless to save?(H)
You are among(I) us, Lord,
and we bear your name;(J)
do not forsake(K) us!
