| Jeremiah 14:1 |
|
The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah concerning
the drought. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:2 |
|
Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish,
they sit in black upon the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:3 |
|
And their nobles send their little ones to the
waters: they come to the cisterns, and find no water; they return with their vessels
empty; they are put to shame and confounded, and cover their heads. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:4 |
|
Because of the ground which is cracked, for
that no rain hath been in the land, the plowmen are put to shame, they cover their
heads. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:5 |
|
Yea, the hind also in the field calveth, and
forsaketh her young, because there is no grass. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:6 |
|
And the wild asses stand on the bare heights,
they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.
|
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:7 |
|
Though our iniquities testify against us, work
thou for thy name's sake, O Jehovah; for our backslidings are many; we have sinned
against thee. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:8 |
|
O thou hope of Israel, the Saviour thereof in
the time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a sojourner in the land, and as
a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night? |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:9 |
|
Why shouldest thou be as a man affrighted, as
a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O Jehovah, art in the midst of us, and
we are called by thy name; leave us not. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:10 |
|
Thus saith Jehovah unto this people, Even so
have they loved to wander; they have not refrained their feet: therefore Jehovah
doth not accept them; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:11 |
|
And Jehovah said unto me, Pray not for this
people for their good. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:12 |
|
When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and
when they offer burnt-offering and meal-offering, I will not accept them; but
I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:13 |
|
Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, the prophets
say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I
will give you assured peace in this place. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:14 |
|
Then Jehovah said unto me, The prophets prophesy
lies in my name; I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake
I unto them: they prophesy unto you a lying vision, and divination, and a thing
of nought, and the deceit of their own heart. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:15 |
|
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the
prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and
famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be
consumed. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:16 |
|
And the people to whom they prophesy shall be
cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and
they shall have none to bury them-them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their
daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:17 |
|
And thou shalt say this word unto them, Let
mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease; for the virgin
daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous wound.
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:18 |
|
If I go forth into the field, then, behold,
the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then, behold, they that
are sick with famine! for both the prophet and the priest go about in the land,
and have no knowledge. |
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:19 |
|
Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy
soul loathed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We
looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and, behold, dismay!
|
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:20 |
|
We acknowledge, O Jehovah, our wickedness, and
the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against thee. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:21 |
|
Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake; do not
disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 14:22 |
|
Are there any among the vanities of the nations
that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Jehovah
our God? therefore we will wait for thee; for thou hast made all these things.
