Jeremiah 14:9
Berean Standard Bible
Why are You like a man taken by surprise, like a warrior powerless to save? Yet You are among us, O LORD, and we are called by Your name. Do not forsake us!
Context
7Although our iniquities testify against us, O LORD,
act for the sake of Your name.
Indeed, our rebellions are many;
we have sinned against You. 8O Hope of Israel,
its Savior in times of distress,
why are You like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler who stays but a night? 9Why are You like a man taken by surprise,
like a warrior powerless to save?
Yet You are among us, O LORD,
and we are called by Your name.
Do not forsake us! 10This is what the LORD says about this people:
“Truly they love to wander;
they have not restrained their feet.
So the LORD does not accept them;
He will now remember their guilt
and call their sins to account.” 11Then the LORD said to me, “Do not pray for the well-being of this people.
