Jeremiah 14:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ God, you are the hope of Israel!
    You save Israel in times of trouble.
But now it seems like you are a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who only stays one night.
⁹ You seem like a man who has been attacked by surprise,
    like a soldier who does not have the power to save anyone.
But, Lord, you are with us.
    We are called by your name, so don’t leave us without help!”
