Berean Standard Bible
Jeremiah 14:15-22
15Therefore this is what the LORD says about the prophets who prophesy in My name: I did not send them, yet they say, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’
By sword and famine these very prophets will meet their end! 16And the people to whom they prophesy will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem because of famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out their own evil upon them.
17You are to speak this word to them:
‘My eyes overflow with tears;day and night they do not cease,for the virgin daughter of my peoplehas been shattered by a crushing blow,a severely grievous wound.18If I go out to the country,I see those slain by the sword;if I enter the city,I see those ravaged by famine!For both prophet and priesttravel to a land they do not know.’”
19Have You rejected Judah completely?Do You despise Zion?Why have You stricken usso that we are beyond healing?We hoped for peace,but no good has come,and for the time of healing,but there was only terror.20We acknowledge our wickedness, O LORD,the guilt of our fathers;indeed, we have sinned against You.
21For the sake of Your name do not despise us;do not disgrace Your glorious throne.Remember Your covenant with us;do not break it.22Can the worthless idols of the nations bring rain?Do the skies alone send showers?Is this not by You, O LORD our God?So we put our hope in You,for You have done all these things.
