JER-14:1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning
the dearth.
JER-14:2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they
are black unto
the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
JER-14:3 And their nobles have sent their little ones to the
waters: they
came to the pits, [and] found no water; they returned with their
vessels
empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.
JER-14:4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in
the earth, the
plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
JER-14:5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook
[it], because
there was no grass.
JER-14:6 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they
snuffed up the
wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because [there was] no
grass.
JER-14:7 O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do
thou [it] for
thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned
against thee.
JER-14:8 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?
JER-14:9 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.
JER-14:10 Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they
loved to
wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD
doth not accept
them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
JER-14:11 Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people
for [their]
good.
JER-14:12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when
they offer
burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I
will consume
them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
JER-14:13 Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! 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.
JER-14:14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy
lies in my name:
I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake
unto them: they
prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of
nought, and
the deceit of their heart.
JER-14:15 Therefore thus saith the LORD 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.
JER-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.
JER-14:17 Therefore 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
blow.
JER-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 them that are sick
with famine! yea,
both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they
know not.
JER-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,
and [there is] no good; and for the time of healing, and behold
trouble!
JER-14:20 We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, [and] the
iniquity of our
fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
JER-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.
JER-14:22 Are there [any] among the vanities of the Gentiles
that can cause
rain? or can the heavens give showers? [art] not thou he, O LORD
our God?
therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these
[things].
