Jeremiah 14:4-22

14:4

Because the ground
<0127>

is chapt
<02865> (8804)_,

for there was no rain
<01653>

in the earth
<0776>_,

the plowmen
<0406>

were ashamed
<0954> (8804)_,

they covered
<02645> (8804)

their heads
<07218>_.

14:5

Yea, the hind
<0365>

also calved
<03205> (8804)

in the field
<07704>_,

and forsook
<05800> (8800)

[it], because there was no grass
<01877>_.

14:6

And the wild asses
<06501>

did stand
<05975> (8804)

in the high places
<08205>_,

they snuffed up
<07602> (8804)

the wind
<07307>

like dragons
<08577>_;

their eyes
<05869>

did fail
<03615> (8804)_,

because [there was] no grass
<06212>_.

14:7

O LORD
<03068>_,

though our iniquities
<05771>

testify
<06030> (8804)

against us, do
<06213> (8798)

thou [it] for thy name's
<08034>

sake: for our backslidings
<04878>

are many
<07231> (8804)_;

we have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee.

14:8

O the hope
<04723>

of Israel
<03478>_,

the saviour
<03467> (8688)

thereof in time
<06256>

of trouble
<06869>_,

why shouldest thou be as a stranger
<01616>

in the land
<0776>_,

and as a wayfaring man
<0732> (8802)

[that] turneth aside
<05186> (8804)

to tarry for a night
<03885> (8800)_?

14:9

Why shouldest thou be as a man
<0376>

astonied
<01724> (8737)_,

as a mighty man
<01368>

[that] cannot
<03201> (8799)

save
<03467> (8687)_?

yet thou, O LORD
<03068>_,

[art] in the midst
<07130>

of us, and we are called
<07121> (8738)

by thy name
<08034>_;

leave
<03240> (8686)

us not. {we...: Heb. thy name is called upon us}

14:10

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

unto this people
<05971>_,

Thus have they loved
<0157> (8804)

to wander
<05128> (8800)_,

they have not refrained
<02820> (8804)

their feet
<07272>_,

therefore the LORD
<03068>

doth not accept
<07521> (8804)

them; he will now remember
<02142> (8799)

their iniquity
<05771>_,

and visit
<06485> (8799)

their sins
<02403>_.

14:11

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

unto me, Pray
<06419> (8691)

not for this people
<05971>

for [their] good
<02896>_.

14:12

When they fast
<06684> (8799)_,

I will not hear
<08085> (8802)

their cry
<07440>_;

and when they offer
<05927> (8686)

burnt offering
<05930>

and an oblation
<04503>_,

I will not accept
<07521> (8802)

them: but I will consume
<03615> (8764)

them by the sword
<02719>_,

and by the famine
<07458>_,

and by the pestilence
<01698>_.

14:13

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, Ah
<0162>_,

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_!

behold, the prophets
<05030>

say
<0559> (8802)

unto them, Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)

the sword
<02719>_,

neither shall ye have famine
<07458>_;

but I will give
<05414> (8799)

you assured
<0571>

peace
<07965>

in this place
<04725>_.

{assured...: Heb. peace of truth}

14:14

Then the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, The prophets
<05030>

prophesy
<05012> (8737)

lies
<08267>

in my name
<08034>_:

I sent
<07971> (8804)

them not, neither have I commanded
<06680> (8765)

them, neither spake
<01696> (8765)

unto them: they prophesy
<05012> (8693)

unto you a false
<08267>

vision
<02377>

and divination
<07081>_,

and a thing of nought
<0457> (8675) <0434>_,

and the deceit
<08649>

of their heart
<03820>_.

14:15

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

concerning the prophets
<05030>

that prophesy
<05012> (8737)

in my name
<08034>_,

and I sent
<07971> (8804)

them not, yet they say
<0559> (8802)_,

Sword
<02719>

and famine
<07458>

shall not be in this land
<0776>_;

By sword
<02719>

and famine
<07458>

shall those prophets
<05030>

be consumed
<08552> (8735)_.

14:16

And the people
<05971>

to whom they prophesy
<05012> (8737)

shall be cast out
<07993> (8716)

in the streets
<02351>

of Jerusalem
<03389>

because
<06440>

of the famine
<07458>

and the sword
<02719>_;

and they shall have none to bury
<06912> (8764)

them
<01992>_,

them, their wives
<0802>_,

nor their sons
<01121>_,

nor their daughters
<01323>_:

for I will pour
<08210> (8804)

their wickedness
<07451>

upon them.

14:17

Therefore thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)

this word
<01697>

unto them; Let mine eyes
<05869>

run down
<03381> (8799)

with tears
<01832>

night
<03915>

and day
<03119>_,

and let them not cease
<01820> (8799)_:

for the virgin
<01330>

daughter
<01323>

of my people
<05971>

is broken
<07665> (8738)

with a great
<01419>

breach
<07667>_,

with a very
<03966>

grievous
<02470> (8737)

blow
<04347>_.

14:18

If I go forth
<03318> (8804)

into the field
<07704>_,

then behold the slain
<02491>

with the sword
<02719>_!

and if I enter
<0935> (8804)

into the city
<05892>_,

then behold them that are sick
<08463>

with famine
<07458>_!

yea, both the prophet
<05030>

and the priest
<03548>

go about
<05503> (8804)

into a land
<0776>

that they know
<03045> (8804)

not. {go about...: or, make merchandise against a land, and men acknowledge it not}

14:19

Hast thou utterly
<03988> (8800)

rejected
<03988> (8804)

Judah
<03063>_?

hath thy soul
<05315>

lothed
<01602> (8804)

Zion
<06726>_?

why hast thou smitten
<05221> (8689)

us, and [there is] no healing
<04832>

for us? we looked
<06960> (8763)

for peace
<07965>_,

and [there is] no good
<02896>_;

and for the time
<06256>

of healing
<04832>_,

and behold trouble
<01205>_!

14:20

We acknowledge
<03045> (8804)_,

O LORD
<03068>_,

our wickedness
<07562>_,

[and] the iniquity
<05771>

of our fathers
<01>_:

for we have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee.

14:21

Do not abhor
<05006> (8799)

[us], for thy name's
<08034>

sake, do not disgrace
<05034> (8762)

the throne
<03678>

of thy glory
<03519>_:

remember
<02142> (8798)_,

break
<06565> (8686)

not thy covenant
<01285>

with us.

14:22

Are there
<03426>

[any] among the vanities
<01892>

of the Gentiles
<01471>

that can cause rain
<01652> (8688)_?

or can the heavens
<08064>

give
<05414> (8799)

showers
<07241>_?

[art] not thou he, O LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>_?

therefore we will wait
<06960> (8762)

upon thee: for thou hast made
<06213> (8804)

all these [things].
