Context of Jeremiah 14:19

17“Say this to them: ‘My eyes flow with tears day and night without stopping because my dear people will suffer massive destruction. It will be a very serious blow.’ ” 18If I go to the field, I see those killed because of war. If I go to the city, I see those sick because of famine. Prophets and priests wander through a land they haven’t heard of. Have you completely rejected Judah? Do you despise Zion? Why have you struck us so hard that we cannot heal? We hope for peace, but no good comes from it. We hope for a time of healing, but there’s only terror. 20O Lord, we realize our wickedness and the wrongs done by our ancestors. We have sinned against you. 21For the sake of your name, don’t despise us. Don’t dishonor your glorious throne. Remember your promise to us; don’t break it.
