Jeremiah 14:20 meaning and explanation
We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD, the guilt of our fathers; indeed, we have sinned against You.
Jeremiah 14:20, Berean Standard Bible

Jeremiah speaks this prayer on behalf of Judah during a severe drought, with invasion and famine pressing in. The people have already cried out in verses 7 and 19, and here the confession becomes fuller: they admit their own wickedness and also the guilt of their fathers, the inherited pattern of unfaithfulness that led them to this point.
