-"You will say this word to them, '^(C1)Let my eyes stream down tears night and day, And let them not cease; For the virgin ^(C2)daughter of my people has been crushed with a mighty blow, With a sorely ^(C3)infected wound.

-'If I ^(C1)go out to the country, There are those killed by the sword! Or if I enter the city, There are diseases from famine! For ^(C2)both prophet and priest Have wandered around in the land that they do not know.'"

Have You completely ^(C1)rejected Judah? Or have ^(F1)You loathed Zion? Why have You stricken us so that we ^(C2)are beyond healing? We ^(C3)waited for peace, but nothing good came; And for a time of healing, but behold, terror!

We ^(C1)know our wickedness, LORD, The wrongdoing of our fathers, for ^(C2)we have sinned against You.

Do not despise us, ^(C1)for the sake of Your own name; Do not disgrace the ^(C2)throne of Your glory. Remember and do not annul Your covenant with us.

Are there any among the ^(F1)(C1)idols of the nations who ^(C2)give rain? Or can the heavens grant showers? Is it not You, LORD our God? Therefore we ^(C3)wait for You, For You are the one who has done all these things.
