Jeremiah 14:1-10

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.
