Jeremiah 14:17-22

17Therefore thou shalt sayH559 this wordH1697 unto them; Let mine eyesH5869 run downH3381 with tearsH1832 nightH3915 and dayH3119, and let them not ceaseH1820: for the virginH1330 daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is brokenH7665 with a greatH1419 breachH7667, with a veryH3966 grievousH2470 blowH4347. 18If I go forthH3318 into the fieldH7704, then behold the slainH2491 with the swordH2719! and if I enterH935 into the cityH5892, then behold them that are sickH8463 with famineH7458! yea, both the prophetH5030 and the priestH3548 go aboutH5503 into a landH776 that they knowH3045 not.1 19Hast thou utterlyH3988 rejectedH3988 JudahH3063? hath thy soulH5315 lothedH1602 ZionH6726? why hast thou smittenH5221 us, and there is no healingH4832 for us? we lookedH6960 for peaceH7965, and there is no goodH2896; and for the timeH6256 of healingH4832, and behold troubleH1205! 20We acknowledgeH3045, O YhwhH3068, our wickednessH7562, and the iniquityH5771 of our fathersH1: for we have sinnedH2398 against thee. 21Do not abhorH5006 us, for thy name’sH8034 sake, do not disgraceH5034 the throneH3678 of thy gloryH3519: rememberH2142, breakH6565 not thy covenantH1285 with us. 22Are thereH3426 any among the vanitiesH1892 of the GentilesH1471 that can cause rainH1652? or can the heavensH8064 giveH5414 showersH7241? art not thou he, O YhwhH3068 our GodH430? therefore we will waitH6960 upon thee: for thou hast madeH6213 all these things.
