Jeremiah 14:1-10
1This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
2“Judah mournsand her gates languish.Her people wail for the land,and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.3The nobles send their servants for water;they go to the cisterns, but find no water;their jars return empty.They are ashamed and humiliated;they cover their heads.4The ground is crackedbecause no rain has fallen on the land.The farmers are ashamed;they cover their heads.5Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawnbecause there is no grass.6Wild donkeys stand on barren heights;they pant for air like jackals;1their eyes fail for lack of pasture.”
7Although our iniquities testify against us, O LORD,act for the sake of Your name.Indeed, our rebellions are many;we have sinned against You.8O Hope of Israel,its Savior in times of distress,why are You like a stranger in the land,like a traveler who stays but a night?9Why are You like a man taken by surprise,like a warrior powerless to save?Yet You are among us, O LORD,and we are called by Your name.
Do not forsake us!
10This is what the LORD says about this people:
“Truly they love to wander;they have not restrained their feet.So the LORD does not accept them;He will now remember their iniquityand punish them for their sins.”
