# Jeremiah 14 (New King James Version)
|
|
Sword, Famine, and Pestilence
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 14
|
|
###### 1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts.
|
|
|
|
###### 2 "Judah mourns,
|
|
And her gates languish;
|
|
They mourn for the land,
|
|
And the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 Their nobles have sent their lads for water;
|
|
They went to the cisterns _and_ found no water.
|
|
They returned with their vessels empty;
|
|
They were ashamed and confounded
|
|
And covered their heads.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 Because the ground is parched,
|
|
For there was no rain in the land,
|
|
The plowmen were ashamed;
|
|
They covered their heads.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Yes, the deer also gave birth in the field,
|
|
But left because there was no grass.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 And the wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights;
|
|
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
|
|
Their eyes failed because _there was_ no grass."
|
|
|
|
###### 7 O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us,
|
|
Do it for Your name's sake;
|
|
For our backslidings are many,
|
|
We have sinned against You.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 O the Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of trouble,
|
|
Why should You be like a stranger in the land,
|
|
And like a traveler _who_ turns aside to tarry for a night?
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Why should You be like a man astonished,
|
|
Like a mighty one _who_ cannot save?
|
|
Yet You, O Lord, _are_ in our midst,
|
|
And we are called by Your name;
|
|
Do not leave us!
|
|
|
|
###### 10 Thus says the Lord to this people:
|
|
"Thus they have loved to wander;
|
|
They have not restrained their feet.
|
|
Therefore the Lord does not accept them;
|
|
He will remember their iniquity now,
|
|
And punish their sins."
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Then the Lord said to me, "Do not pray for this people, for _their_ good.
|
|
###### 12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence."
|
|
|
|
###### 13 Then I said, "Ah, Lord God! Behold, the prophets say to them, 'You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.' "
|
|
|
|
###### 14 And the Lord said to me, "The prophets prophesy lies in My name. I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, divination, a worthless thing, and the deceit of their heart.
|
|
###### 15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, whom I did not send, and who say, 'Sword and famine shall not be in this land'--'By sword and famine those prophets shall be 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; they will have no one to bury them--them nor their wives, their sons nor their daughters--for I will pour their wickedness on them.'
|
|
|
|
###### 17 "Therefore you shall say this word to them:
|
|
'Let my eyes flow with tears night and day,
|
|
And let them not cease;
|
|
For the virgin daughter of my people
|
|
Has been broken with a mighty stroke, with a very severe blow.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 If I go out to the field,
|
|
Then behold, those slain with the sword!
|
|
And if I enter the city,
|
|
Then behold, those sick from famine!
|
|
Yes, both prophet and priest go about in a land they do not know.' "The People Plead for Mercy
|
|
|
|
###### 19 Have You utterly rejected Judah?
|
|
Has Your soul loathed Zion?
|
|
Why have You stricken us so that _there is_ no healing for us?
|
|
We looked for peace, but _there was_ no good;
|
|
And for the time of healing, and there was trouble.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness
|
|
_And_ the iniquity of our fathers,
|
|
For we have sinned against You.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 Do not abhor _us,_ for Your name's sake;
|
|
Do not disgrace the throne of Your glory.
|
|
Remember, do not break Your covenant with us.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 Are there any among the idols of the nations that can cause rain?
|
|
Or can the heavens give showers?
|
|
_Are_ You not He, O Lord our God?
|
|
Therefore we will wait for You,
|
|
Since You have made all these.
