Context of Jeremiah 14:10

8O hope of Israel, Savior in time of trouble, why are You like a stranger in the land, or like a traveler who stays for a night? 9Why are You like a man overcome, like a champion who cannot save? Yet you, Adonai, are in our midst, and we are called by Your Name. Do not forsake us! Thus says Adonai to this people: How they loved to wander, They did not restrain their feet. So Adonai does not accept them. Now will He remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. 11So Adonai said to me: “Do not pray for the good of this people. 12If they fast, I will not hear their cry. If they offer burnt offering or grain offering, I will not accept them. Instead I will consume them with sword, with famine and with plague.”
