Jeremiah 14

1The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 concerning the droughtH1226. 2JudahH3063 mourneth, and the gatesH8179 thereof languishH535, they sitH6937 in blackH6937 upon the groundH776; and the cryH6682 of JerusalemH3389 is goneH5927 upH5927. 3And their noblesH117 sendH7971 their littleH6810 onesH6810 to the watersH4325: they comeH935 to the pits, and findH4672 noH3808 waterH4325; they returnH7725 with their vesselsH3627 emptyH7387: they are ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637, and coverH2645 their headsH7218. 4BecauseH3588 of the groundH776 which is chapt, for that noH3808 rainH1653 hath been in the landH776, the plowmenH406 are ashamedH954, they coverH2645 their headsH7218. 5YeaH3588, the hind also in the fieldH7704 calveth, and forsaketh herH1961 young, becauseH3588 there is noH3808 grassH1877. 6And the wildH6501 asses standH5975 on the bareH8205 heightsH8205, they pant for airH7307 like jackalsH8577; their eyesH5869 failH3615, becauseH3588 there is noH369 herbage. 7ThoughH3588 our iniquitiesH5771 testifyH6030 againstH2398 usH3588, work thou for thy name’sH8034 sakeH4616, O LORDH3068: for our backslidings are manyH7231; weH3588 have sinnedH2398 againstH2398 thee. 8O thou hope of IsraelH3478, the saviour thereof in the time of troubleH6869, whyH4100 shouldest thou be as a sojournerH1616 in the landH776, and as a wayfaring man that turneth asideH5186 to tarry for a night? 9WhyH4100 shouldest thou be as a manH376 astonied, as a mightyH1368 manH376 that cannotH3808 saveH3467? yet thou, O LORDH3068, art in the midstH7130 of usH5921, and weH7130 are calledH7121 by thy nameH8034; leaveH3240 usH5921 notH3808. 10ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 unto this peopleH5971, EvenH3808 soH3651 have they lovedH157 to wanderH5128; they have notH3808 refrained their feetH7272: therefore the LORDH3068 doth notH3808 acceptH7521 them; nowH6258 will he rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, and visitH6485 their sinsH2403. 11And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, PrayH6419 notH408 for this peopleH5971 for their goodH2896. 12When they fastH6684, I will notH369 hearH8085 their cryH7440; and when they offerH5927 burntH5930 offering and oblation, I will notH369 acceptH7521 them: but I will consumeH3615 them by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698; 13Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH136! beholdH2009, the prophetsH5030 sayH559 unto them, Ye shall notH3808 seeH7200 the swordH2719, neitherH3808 shall ye have famineH7458; but I will giveH5414 youH3588 assured peaceH7965 in this placeH4725. 14Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034: I sentH7971 them notH3808, neitherH3808 have I commandedH6680 them, neitherH3808 spake I unto them: they prophesyH5012 unto youH6680 a lyingH8267 visionH2377, and divinationH7081, and a thing of nought, and the deceitH8267 of their own heartH3820. 15Therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 in my nameH8034, and I sentH7971 them notH3808, yet they sayH559, SwordH2719 and famineH7458 shall notH3808 be in this landH776: By swordH2719 and famineH7458 shall thoseH1992 prophetsH5030 be consumedH8552. 16And the peopleH5971 to whomH834 they prophesyH5012 shall be castH7993 outH8210 in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 becauseH5921 of the famineH7458 and the swordH2719; and they shall have noneH369 to buryH6912 them, them, their wivesH802, norH369 their sonsH1121, norH369 their daughtersH1323: for I will pourH8210 their wickednessH7451 uponH5921 them. 17And thou shalt sayH559 this wordH1697 unto them, LetH408 mine eyesH5869 runH3381 downH3381 with tearsH1832 nightH3915 and dayH3119, and letH408 them notH408 ceaseH1820; for the virginH1330 daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is brokenH7665 with a greatH1419 breach, with a veryH3966 grievous woundH4347. 18IfH518 I goH3318 forthH3318 intoH413 the fieldH7704, then beholdH2009 the slainH2491 with the swordH2719! and ifH518 I enterH935 intoH413 the cityH5892, then beholdH2009 them that are sick with famineH7458! for bothH1571 the prophetH5030 and the priestH3548 goH3318 aboutH413 in the landH776 and have noH3808 knowledgeH3045. 19Hast thou utterly rejectedH3988 JudahH3063? hath thy soulH5315 loathedH1602 ZionH6726? whyH4069 hast thou smittenH5221 usH5315, and there is noH369 healingH4832 for usH5315? WeH518 lookedH2009 for peaceH7965, but noH369 goodH2896 came; and for a time of healingH4832, and beholdH2009 dismay! 20WeH3588 acknowledgeH3045, O LORDH3068, our wickednessH7562, and the iniquityH5771 of our fathersH1: for weH3588 have sinnedH2398 againstH2398 thee. 21DoH408 notH408 abhor usH4616, for thy name’sH8034 sakeH4616; doH408 notH408 disgrace the throneH3678 of thy gloryH3519: rememberH2142, breakH6565 notH408 thy covenantH1285 with usH4616. 22Are there anyH3605 among the vanitiesH1892 of the heathen that canH518 causeH5414 rainH1652? or canH518 the heavensH8064 giveH5414 showersH7241? art notH3808 thou he, O LORDH3068 our GodH430? therefore weH3588 will waitH6960 upon thee; for thou hast madeH6213 allH3605 theseH428 things.
