Jeremiah 14:15-22

15ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 concerningH5921 the prophetsH5030 who are prophesyingH5012 in My nameH8034, although it was not I who sentH7971 them--yet they keep sayingH559, ‘There will be noH3808 swordH2719 or famineH7458 in thisH2088 landH776’--1by swordH2719 and famineH7458 thoseH1992 prophetsH5030 shall 2meetH8552 their endH8552! 16The peopleH5971 also to whomH834 they are prophesyingH5012 will be 3thrownH7993 out into the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 becauseH4480H6440 of the famineH7458 and the swordH2719; and thereH369 will be noH369 oneH369 to 4buryH6912 them--neither them, nor their wivesH802, norH369 their sonsH1121, norH369 their daughtersH1323--for I will 5pourH8210 out their own wickednessH7463 on them.17You will sayH559 thisH2088 wordH1697 to them, ‘6Let my eyesH5869 flowH3381 downH3381 with tearsH1832 nightH3915 and dayH3119, And let them not ceaseH1820; For the virginH1330 7daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 has been crushedH7665 with a mightyH1419 blowH4347, With a sorelyH3966 8infectedH2470 woundH4347.18IfH518 I 9goH3318 out to the countryH7704, BeholdH2009, those 10slainH2491 with the swordH2719! Or ifH518 I enterH935 the cityH5892, BeholdH2009, diseasesH8463 of famineH7458! For 11bothH1571 prophetH5030 and priestH3548 Have 12gone rovingH5503 aboutH5503 in the landH776 that they do not knowH3045.’”

19Have You completelyH3988 13rejectedH3988 JudahH3063? OrH518 have 14You loathedH1602 ZionH6726? WhyH4069 have You strickenH5221 us so that we 15are beyondH369 healingH4832? We 16waitedH6960 for peaceH7965, but nothingH369 goodH2896 came; And for a timeH6256 of healingH4832, but beholdH2009, terrorH1205!20We 17knowH3045 our wickednessH7562, O LordH3068, The iniquityH5771 of our fathersH1, for 18we have sinnedH2398 against You.21Do not despiseH5006 us, 19for Your own name’sH8034 sakeH4616; Do not disgraceH5034 the 20throneH3678 of Your gloryH3519; RememberH2142 and do not annulH6565 Your covenantH1285 with us.22Are thereH3426 anyH3426 among the 2122idolsH1892 of the nationsH1471 who 23giveH1652 rainH1652? OrH518 can the heavensH8064 grantH5414 showersH7241? Is it not You, O LordH3068 our GodH430? Therefore we 2425hopeH6960 in You, For You are the one who has doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH428.
