Jeremiah 14
The
word
of
the
Lord
that
came
to
Jeremiah
concerning
the
a
dearth.
2 Judah
mourneth,
and
the
gates
thereof
languish;
they
are
a
black
unto
the
ground;
and
the
cry
of
Jerusalem
is
gone
up.
3 And
their
nobles
have
sent
their
little
ones
to
the
waters:
they
came
to
the
pits,
and
found
no
water;
they
returned
with
their
vessels
empty;
they
were
ashamed
and
confounded,
and
covered
their
heads.
4 Because
the
ground
is
chapt,
for
there
was
no
a
rain
in
the
earth,
the
plowmen
were
ashamed,
they
covered
their
heads.
5 Yea,
the
hind
also
calved
in
the
field,
and
forsook
it,
because
there
was
no
grass.
6 And
the
wild
asses
did
stand
in
the
high
places,
they
snuffed
up
the
wind
like
a
dragons;
their
eyes
did
fail,
because
there
was
no
grass.
7 O
Lord,
though
our
iniquities
testify
against
us,
do
thou
it
for
thy
name's
sake:
for
our
backslidings
are
many;
we
have
sinned
against
thee.
8 O
the
hope
of
Israel,
the
saviour
thereof
in
time
of
trouble,
why
shouldest
thou
be
as
a
stranger
in
the
land,
and
as
a
wayfaring
man
that
turneth
aside
to
tarry
for
a
night?
9 Why
shouldest
thou
be
as
a
man
astonied,
as
a
mighty
man
that
cannot
save?
yet
thou,
O
Lord,
art
in
the
midst
of
us,
and
we
are
called
by
thy
name;
leave
us
not.
10 Thus
saith
the
Lord
unto
this
people,
Thus
have
they
loved
to
wander,
they
have
not
a
refrained
their
feet,
therefore
the
Lord
doth
not
accept
them;
he
will
now
remember
their
b
iniquity,
and
visit
their
sins.
11 Then
said
the
Lord
unto
me,
a
Pray
not
for
this
people
for
their
good.
12 When
they
fast,
I
will
not
a
hear
their
cry;
and
when
they
offer
burnt
offering
and
an
oblation,
I
will
not
accept
them:
but
I
will
b
consume
them
by
the
sword,
and
by
the
famine,
and
by
the
pestilence.
13 Then
said
I,
Ah,
Lord
God!
behold,
the
prophets
say
unto
them,
Ye
shall
not
see
the
a
sword,
neither
shall
ye
have
famine;
but
I
will
give
you
assured
peace
in
this
place.
14 Then
the
Lord
said
unto
me,
The
a
prophets
prophesy
b
lies
in
my
name:
I
sent
them
not,
neither
have
I
commanded
them,
neither
spake
unto
them:
they
prophesy
unto
you
a
false
c
vision
and
divination,
and
a
thing
of
nought,
and
the
d
deceit
of
their
heart.
15 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord
concerning
the
prophets
that
prophesy
in
my
name,
and
I
a
sent
them
not,
yet
they
say,
Sword
and
famine
shall
not
be
in
this
land;
By
sword
and
famine
shall
those
prophets
be
b
consumed.
16 And
the
people
to
whom
they
prophesy
shall
be
cast
out
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem
because
of
the
famine
and
the
sword;
and
they
shall
have
none
to
a
bury
them,
them,
their
wives,
nor
their
sons,
nor
their
daughters:
for
I
will
pour
their
wickedness
upon
them.
17 Therefore
thou
shalt
say
this
word
unto
them;
Let
mine
eyes
run
down
with
tears
night
and
day,
and
let
them
not
cease:
for
the
virgin
daughter
of
my
people
is
broken
with
a
great
breach,
with
a
very
grievous
blow.
18 If
I
go
forth
into
the
field,
then
behold
the
a
slain
with
the
sword!
and
if
I
enter
into
the
city,
then
behold
them
that
are
sick
with
famine!
yea,
both
the
prophet
and
the
priest
go
about
into
a
b
land
that
they
know
not.
19 Hast
thou
utterly
rejected
Judah?
hath
thy
soul
lothed
Zion?
why
hast
thou
smitten
us,
and
there
is
no
healing
for
us?
we
looked
for
a
peace,
and
there
is
no
good;
and
for
the
time
of
healing,
and
behold
trouble!
20 We
a
acknowledge,
O
Lord,
our
wickedness,
and
the
iniquity
of
our
fathers:
for
we
have
b
sinned
against
thee.
21 Do
not
abhor
us,
for
thy
name's
sake,
do
not
disgrace
the
throne
of
thy
glory:
remember,
break
not
thy
a
covenant
with
us.
22 Are
there
any
among
the
a
vanities
of
the
Gentiles
that
can
cause
rain?
or
can
the
heavens
give
b
showers?
art
not
thou
he,
O
Lord
our
God?
therefore
we
will
wait
upon
thee:
for
thou
hast
c
made
all
these
things.
