Jeremiah 14:9-11
New International Reader's Version
9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise?
Why are you like a soldier who can’t save anyone?
Lord, you are among us.
And we are your people.
Please don’t desert us!
10 The Lord gave Jeremiah a message about these people. The Lord said,

I do not accept these people.
I will remember the evil things they have done.
I will punish them for their sins.”
11 The Lord continued, “Do not pray that things will go well with them.

Jeremiah 14:9-11
New International Version
9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
like a warrior powerless to save?(A)
You are among(B) us, Lord,
and we bear your name;(C)
do not forsake(D) us!
10 This is what the Lord says about this people:
“They greatly love to wander;
they do not restrain their feet.(E)
So the Lord does not accept(F) them;
he will now remember(G) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.”(H)
11 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray(I) for the well-being of this people.
