Jeremiah 14:9

לָ֤מָּה תִֽהְיֶה֙ כְּאִ֣ישׁ נִדְהָ֔ם כְּגִבּ֖וֹר לֹא־יוּכַ֣ל לְהוֹשִׁ֑יעַ וְאַתָּ֧ה בְקִרְבֵּ֣נוּ יְהוָ֗ה וְשִׁמְךָ֛ עָלֵ֥ינוּ נִקְרָ֖א אַל־תַּנִּחֵֽנוּ׃
lamah tihyeh kʾiysh nidham kgibvor loʾ-yvkal lhvoshiyʿa vʾatah bqirbenv yhvah vshimka ʿaleynv niqraʾ ʾal-taniḥenv
King James Version (KJV)

Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man {that} cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, {art} in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not. {we...: Heb. thy name is called upon us}

Modern English

Why should you be like a scared man, as a mighty man who can’t save? Yet you, Yahweh, are in the middle of us, and we are called by your name. Don’t leave us.
