They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
Do it afor Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
And like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?
Like a mighty one awho cannot save?
Yet You, O Lord, bare in our midst,
And we are called by Your name;
Do not leave us!
a“Thus they have loved to wander;
They have not restrained their feet.
Therefore the Lord does not accept them;
bHe will remember their iniquity now,
And punish their sins.”
| << Jeremiah 14:7 | Jeremiah 14:9 >> |
