The Drought
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 14
|
||||
1. This is the word of the
|
||||
Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
|
||||
|
||||
2. Judah mourns;
|
||||
her city gates languish.
|
||||
Her people are on the ground in mourning;
|
||||
Jerusalem's cry rises up.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Their nobles send their servants for water.
|
||||
They go to the cisterns;
|
||||
they find no water;
|
||||
their containers return empty.
|
||||
They are ashamed and humiliated;
|
||||
they cover their heads.
|
||||
|
||||
4. The ground is cracked
|
||||
since no rain has fallen on the land.
|
||||
The farmers are ashamed;
|
||||
they cover their heads.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Even the doe in the field
|
||||
gives birth and abandons her fawn
|
||||
since there is no grass.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights
|
||||
panting for air like jackals.
|
||||
|
||||
Their eyes fail
|
||||
because there are no green plants.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Though our iniquities testify against us,
|
||||
Lord, act for your name's sake.
|
||||
Indeed, our rebellions are many;
|
||||
we have sinned against you.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Hope of Israel,
|
||||
its Savior in time of distress,
|
||||
why are you like a resident alien in the land,
|
||||
like a traveler
|
||||
stopping only for the night?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
9. Why are you like a helpless man,
|
||||
like a warrior unable to save?
|
||||
Yet you are among us,
|
||||
Lord,
|
||||
and we bear your name.
|
||||
Don't leave us!
|
||||
|
||||
10. This is what the
|
||||
Lord says concerning these people:
|
||||
Truly they love to wander;
|
||||
they never rest their feet.
|
||||
So the
|
||||
Lord does not accept them.
|
||||
|
||||
Now he will remember their iniquity
|
||||
and punish their sins.
|
||||
|
||||
False Prophets to Be Punished
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
11. Then the
|
||||
Lord said to me, "Do not pray for the well-being of these people.
|
||||
12. If they fast, I will not hear their cry of despair. If they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. Rather, I will finish them off by sword, famine, and plague."
|
||||
|
||||
13. And I replied, "Oh no,
|
||||
Lord God! The prophets are telling them, 'You won't see sword or suffer famine. I will certainly give you lasting peace in this place.'"
|
||||
|
||||
14. But the
|
||||
Lord said to me, "These prophets are prophesying a lie in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, worthless divination, the deceit of their own minds.
|
||||
|
||||
15. "Therefore, this is what the
|
||||
Lord says concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, though I did not send them, and who say, 'There will never be sword or famine in this land.' By sword and famine these prophets will meet their end.
|
||||
16. The people they are prophesying to will be thrown into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. There will be no one to bury them--they, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. I will pour out their own evil on them."
|
||||
Jeremiah's Request
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
17. You are to speak this word to them:
|
||||
Let my eyes overflow with tears;
|
||||
day and night may they not stop,
|
||||
for my dearest people
|
||||
have been destroyed by a crushing blow,
|
||||
an extremely severe wound.
|
||||
|
||||
18. If I go out to the field,
|
||||
look--those slain by the sword!
|
||||
If I enter the city,
|
||||
look--those ill from famine!
|
||||
For both prophet and priest
|
||||
travel to a land they do not know.
|
||||
|
||||
19. Have you completely rejected Judah?
|
||||
Do you detest Zion?
|
||||
Why do you strike us
|
||||
with no hope of healing for us?
|
||||
We hoped for peace,
|
||||
but there was nothing good;
|
||||
for a time of healing,
|
||||
but there was only terror.
|
||||
|
||||
20. We acknowledge our wickedness,
|
||||
Lord,
|
||||
the iniquity of our ancestors;
|
||||
indeed, we have sinned against you.
|
||||
|
||||
21. For your name's sake, don't despise us.
|
||||
Don't disdain your glorious throne.
|
||||
Remember your covenant with us;
|
||||
do not break it.
|
||||
|
||||
22. Can any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain?
|
||||
Or can the skies alone give showers?
|
||||
Are you not the
|
||||
Lord our God?
|
||||
We therefore put our hope in you,
|
||||
for you have done all these things.
