19. Have You utterly rejected Judah?Has Your soul loathed Zion?Why have You stricken us so that there is no healing for us?We looked for peace, but there was no good;And for the time of healing, and there was trouble.
20. We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickednessAnd the iniquity of our fathers,For we have sinned against You.
21. Do not abhor us, for Your name’s sake;Do not disgrace the throne of Your glory.Remember, do not break Your covenant with us.
22. Are there any among the idols of the nations that can cause rain?Or can the heavens give showers?Are You not He, O Lord our God?Therefore we will wait for You,Since You have made all these.
