The Drought and the Prayer for Rain · Jeremiah 14

Open this scene in the reader →

19Have you utterly rejected Judah? Does your soul loathe Zion? Why have you struck us so that there is no healing for us? We hoped for peace, but there was no good, and for a time of healing, but behold, terror.

20We acknowledge, O Yahweh, our wickedness, the iniquity of our fathers, for we have sinned against you.

21Do not spurn us for the sake of your name; do not dishonor your glorious throne. Remember; do not break your covenant with us.

22Are there any among the idols of the nations that bring rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Is it not you, O Yahweh our God? And we wait for you, for you have made all these things.
