Jeremiah 14:1-10

1This is the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 thatH834 cameH1961 toH413 JeremiahH3414 concerningH5921 H1697 the droughtH1226:

2“JudahH3063 mournsH56and her gatesH8179 languishH535.Her people wailH6937 for the landH776,and a cryH6682 goes upH5927 from JerusalemH3389.3The noblesH117 sendH7971 their servantsH6810 for waterH4325;they goH935 toH5921 the cisternsH1356, but findH4672 noH3808 waterH4325;their jarsH3627 returnH7725 emptyH7387.They are ashamedH954 and humiliatedH3637;they coverH2645 their headsH7218.4 The groundH127 is crackedH2865becauseH3588 noH3808 H1961 rainH1653 has fallen on the landH776.The farmersH406 are ashamedH954;they coverH2645 their headsH7218.5EvenH3588 H1571 the doeH355 in the fieldH7704 desertsH5800 her newborn fawnH3205becauseH3588 there isH1961 noH3808 grassH1877.6Wild donkeysH6501 standH5975 onH5921 barren heightsH8205;they pantH7602 for airH7307 like jackalsH8577;1their eyesH5869 failH3615 forH3588 lackH369 of pastureH6212.”

7AlthoughH518 our iniquitiesH5771 testifyH6030 against us, O LORDH3068,actH6213 for the sakeH4616 of Your nameH8034.IndeedH3588, our rebellionsH4878 are manyH7231;we have sinned against YouH2398.8O HopeH4723 of IsraelH3478,its SaviorH3467 in timesH6256 of distressH6869,whyH4100 are YouH1961 like a strangerH1616 in the landH776,like a travelerH732 who stays but a nightH5186 H3885?9WhyH4100 are YouH1961 like a manH376 taken by surpriseH1724,like a warriorH1368 powerlessH3201 to saveH3467?Yet YouH859 are among usH7130, O LORDH3068,and we are calledH7121 by Your nameH8034 H5921.

Do notH408 forsake usH5117!

10This is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559 about thisH2088 peopleH5971:

“TrulyH3651 they loveH157 to wanderH5128;they have notH3808 restrainedH2820 their feetH7272.So the LORDH3068 does notH3808 accept themH7521;He will nowH6258 rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771and punish themH6485 for their sinsH2403.”
