That which
came
as the word
of the LORD
to Jeremiah
in regard
to the drought:
2
"Judah
mourns
And her gates
languish;
They sit
on the ground
in mourning,
And the cry
of Jerusalem
has ascended.
3
"Their
no
bles
have sent
their servants
for water;
They have come
to the cisterns
and found
no
water.
They have returned
with their vessels
empty;
They have been put to shame
and humiliated,
And they cover
their heads.
4
"Because
the ground
is cracked,
For there has been
no
rain
on the land;
The farmers
have been put to shame,
They have covered
their heads.
5
"For even
the doe
in the field
has given birth
only to abandon
her young, Because
there is no
grass.
6
"The wild donkeys
stand
on the bare heights;
They pant
for air
like jackals,
Their eyes
fail
For there is no
vegetation.
7
"Although
our iniquities
testify
against us, O LORD,
act
for Your name's
sake!
Truly
our apostasies
have been many,
We have sinned
against You.
8
"O Hope
of Israel,
Its Savior
in time
of distress,
Why
are You like a stranger
in the land
Or like a traveler
who has pitched
his tent for the night?
9
"Why
are You like a man
dismayed,
Like a mighty man
who cannot
save?
Yet You are in our midst,
O LORD,
And we are called
by Your name;
Do not forsake
us!"
10
Thus
says
the LORD
to this
people,
"Even so
they have loved
to wander;
they have not kept
their feet
in check.
Therefore
the LORD
does not accept
them; now
He will remember
their iniquity
and call
their sins
to account."
11
So the LORD
said
to me, "Do not pray
for the welfare
of this
people.
12
"When
they fast,
I am not going to listen
to their cry;
and when
they offer
burnt offering
and grain offering,
I am not going to accept
them. Rather
I am going to make an end
of them by the sword,
famine
and pestilence."
13
But, "Ah,
Lord
GOD!"
I said,
"Look,
the prophets
are telling
them, 'You will not see
the sword
nor
will you have
famine,
but I will give
you lasting
peace
in this
place.'"
14
Then the LORD
said
to me, "The prophets
are prophesying
falsehood
in My name.
I have neither
sent
them nor
commanded
them nor
spoken
to them; they
are prophesying
to you a false
vision,
divination,
futility
and the deception
of their own minds.
15
"Therefore
thus
says
the LORD
concerning
the
prophets
who are prophesying
in My name,
although it was not I who sent
them-- yet they keep saying,
'There will be no
sword
or famine
in this
land '--
by
sword
and famine
those
prophets
shall meet their end!
16
"The people
also to whom
they are prophesying
will be thrown
out into the streets
of Jerusalem
because
of the famine
and the sword;
and there will be no one
to bury
them-- neither them,
nor
their wives,
nor
their sons,
nor
their daughters--
for I will pour
out their own wickedness
on them.
17
"You will say
this
word
to them, 'Let my eyes
flow down
with tears
night
and day,
And let them not cease;
For the virgin
daughter
of my people
has been crushed
with a mighty
blow,
With a sorely
infected
wound.
18
'
If
I go
out to the country,
Behold,
those slain
with the sword!
Or if
I enter
the city,
Behold,
diseases
of famine!
For both
prophet
and priest
Have gone roving about
in the land
that they do not know.'"
19
Have You completely
rejected
Judah?
Or
have You loathed
Zion?
Why
have You stricken
us so that we are beyond
healing?
We waited
for peace,
but nothing
good
came; And for a time
of healing,
but behold,
terror!
20
We know
our wickedness,
O LORD,
The iniquity
of our fathers,
for we have sinned
against You.
21
Do not despise
us, for Your own name's
sake;
Do not disgrace
the throne
of Your glory;
Remember
and do not annul
Your covenant
with us.
22
Are there any
among the idols
of the nations
who give rain?
Or
can the heavens
grant
showers?
Is it not You, O LORD
our God?
Therefore we hope
in You, For You are the one who has done
all
these things.
