Jeremías dijo: «Dios mío, ¿Por qué actúas en nuestro país como si estuvieras de paso? Te portas como un viajero que solo se queda a pasar la noche. Admitimos que somos muy infieles y que son muchos nuestros pecados; ¡demuestra que tú sí eres fiel y ven pronto a ayudarnos! Tú eres nuestra única esperanza; ¡eres la salvación de Israel en momentos de angustia!
