Jeremiah 8:19

8:19 I hear my dear people crying out

throughout the length and breadth of the land.

They are crying, ‘Is the Lord no longer in Zion?

Is her divine King no longer there?’”

The Lord answers,

“Why then do they provoke me to anger with their images,

with their worthless foreign idols?”

Jeremiah 14:22

14:22 Do any of the worthless idols of the nations cause rain to fall?

Do the skies themselves send showers?

Is it not you, O Lord our God, who does this?

So we put our hopes in you

because you alone do all this.”
