Jeremiah 14:20-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
20 We recognize our wickedness, Lord,
the guilt of our ancestors:
we have sinned against you.(A)
21 Do not reject us, for your name’s sake,
do not disgrace your glorious throne.
Remember! Do not break your covenant with us.(B)
22 Among the idols of the nations are there any that give rain?
Or can the mere heavens send showers?
Is it not you, Lord,
our God, to whom we look?
You alone do all these things.(C)
