O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?

The verse 8 is found in chapter 14 of Jeremiah. The drought produces a crisis affecting cities, fields, and animals. The people confess their sins, but God commands Jeremiah not to intercede because idolatry has persisted. Natural suffering becomes an occasion to reveal the depth of a rebellion that words of repentance have not accompanied with transformation.

Du bist der Trost Israels und sein Nothelfer; warum stellst du dich, als wärest du ein Gast im Lande und ein Fremder, der nur über Nacht darin bleibt?
Oh esperanza de Israel, Guardador suyo en el tiempo de la aflicción, ¿por qué has de ser como peregrino en la tierra, y como caminante que se aparta para tener la noche?
Esperanza de Israel, su Salvador en tiempo de angustia, ¿por qué eres como un extranjero en la tierra, como un viajero que se detiene a pasar la noche?
Toi qui es l'espérance d'Israël, Son sauveur au temps de la détresse, Pourquoi serais-tu comme un étranger dans le pays, Comme un voyageur qui y entre pour passer la nuit?
O speranza d’Israele, suo Salvatore in tempo di distretta, perchè saresti nel paese a guisa di forestiere, e come un viandante, che si riduce in un albergo, per passarvi la notte?
Ó esperança de Israel, e Redentor seu no tempo da angústia, por que serias como um estrangeiro na terra e como o viandante que se retira a passar a noite?
以色列 所盼望,在患難時作他救主的啊, 你在這地為何像寄居的, 又如旅行的只住一夜呢?
