Jeremiah 14

1The word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 concerning^H1697 the drought^H1226. 2Judah^H3063 mourneth^H56, and the gates^H8179 thereof languish^H535, they sit in black^H6937 upon the ground^H776; and the cry^H6682 of Jerusalem^H3389 is gone up^H5927. 3And their nobles^H117 send^H7971 their little ones^H6810 to the waters^H4325: they come^H935 to the cisterns^H1356, and find^H4672 no water^H4325; they return^H7725 with their vessels^H3627 empty^H7387; they are put to shame^H3637 and confounded^H954, and cover^H2645 their heads^H7218. 4Because of the ground^H127 which is cracked^H2865, for that no rain^H1653 hath been in the land^H776, the plowmen^H406 are put to shame^H954, they cover^H2645 their heads^H7218. 5Yea, the hind^H365 also in the field^H7704 calveth^H3205, and forsaketh^H5800 her young, because there is no grass^H1877. 6And the wild asses^H6501 stand^H5975 on the bare heights^H8205, they pant^H7602 for air^H7307 like jackals^H8577; their eyes^H5869 fail^H3615, because there is no herbage^H6212. 7Though our iniquities^H5771 testify^H6030 against us, work^H6213 thou for thy name's^H8034 sake, O Jehovah^H3068; for our backslidings^H4878 are many^H7231; we have sinned^H2398 against thee. 8O thou hope^H4723 of Israel^H3478, the Saviour^H3467 thereof in the time^H6256 of trouble^H6869, why shouldest thou be as a sojourner^H1616 in the land^H776, and as a wayfaring man^H732 that turneth aside^H5186 to tarry for a night^H3885? 9Why shouldest thou be as a man^H376 affrighted^H1724, as a mighty man^H1368 that cannot^H3201 save^H3467? yet thou, O Jehovah^H3068, art in the midst^H7130 of us, and we are called^H7121 by thy name^H8034; leave^H3240 us not. 10Thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 unto this people^H5971, Even so have they loved^H157 to wander^H5128; they have not refrained^H2820 their feet^H7272: therefore Jehovah^H3068 doth not accept^H7521 them; now will he remember^H2142 their iniquity^H5771, and visit^H6485 their sins^H2403. 11And Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Pray^H6419 not for this people^H5971 for their good^H2896. 12When they fast^H6684, I will not hear^H8085 their cry^H7440; and when they offer^H5927 burnt-offering^H5930 and meal-offering^H5930, I will not accept^H7521 them; but I will consume^H3615 them by the sword^H2719, and by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698. 13Then said^H559 I, Ah^H162, Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069! behold, the prophets^H5030 say^H559 unto them, Ye shall not see^H7200 the sword^H2719, neither shall ye have famine^H7458; but I will give^H5414 you assured^H571 peace^H7965 in this place^H4725. 14Then Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto me, The prophets^H5030 prophesy^H5012 lies^H8267 in my name^H8034; I sent^H7971 them not, neither have I commanded^H6680 them, neither spake^H1696 I unto them: they prophesy^H5012 unto you a lying^H8267 vision^H2377, and divination^H7081, and a thing of nought^H457, and the deceit^H8649 of their own heart^H3820. 15Therefore thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068 concerning the prophets^H5030 that prophesy^H5012 in my name^H8034, and I sent^H7971 them not, yet they say^H559, Sword^H2719 and famine^H7458 shall not be in this land^H776: By sword^H2719 and famine^H7458 shall those prophets^H5030 be consumed^H8552. 16And the people^H5971 to whom they prophesy^H5012 shall be cast out^H7993 in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389 because^H6440 of the famine^H7458 and the sword^H2719; and they shall have none to bury^H6912 them—them^H1992, their wives^H802, nor their sons^H1121, nor their daughters^H1323: for I will pour^H8210 their wickedness^H7451 upon them. 17And thou shalt say^H559 this word^H1697 unto them, Let mine eyes^H5869 run down^H3381 with tears^H1832 night^H3915 and day^H3119, and let them not cease^H1820; for the virgin^H1330 daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971 is broken^H7665 with a great^H1419 breach^H7667, with a very^H3966 grievous^H2470 wound^H4347. 18If I go forth^H3318 into the field^H7704, then, behold, the slain^H2491 with the sword^H2719! and if I enter^H935 into the city^H5892, then, behold, they that are sick^H8463 with famine^H7458! for both the prophet^H5030 and the priest^H3548 go about^H5503 in the land^H776, and have no knowledge^H3045. 19Hast thou utterly^H3988 rejected^H3988 Judah^H3063? hath thy soul^H5315 loathed^H1602 Zion^H6726? why hast thou smitten^H5221 us, and there is no healing^H4832 for us? We looked^H6960 for peace^H7965, but no good^H2896 came; and for a time^H6256 of healing^H4832, and, behold, dismay^H1205! 20We acknowledge^H3045, O Jehovah^H3068, our wickedness^H7562, and the iniquity^H5771 of our fathers^H1; for we have sinned^H2398 against thee. 21Do not abhor^H5006 us, for thy name's^H8034 sake; do not disgrace^H5034 the throne^H3678 of thy glory^H3519: remember^H2142, break^H6565 not thy covenant^H1285 with us. 22Are there^H3426 any among the vanities^H1892 of the nations^H1471 that can cause rain^H1652? or can the heavens^H8064 give^H5414 showers^H7241? art not thou he, O Jehovah^H3068 our God^H430? therefore we will wait^H6960 for thee; for thou hast made^H6213 all these things.
