14:1 The
word
of
the
LORD
that
came
to
Jeremiah
concerning
the
drought:
14:2 "Judah
mourns,
and
her
gates
languish;
her
people
lament
on
the
ground,
and
the
cry
of
Jerusalem
goes
up.
14:3 Her
nobles
send
their
servants
for
water;
they
come
to
the
cisterns;
they
find
no
water;
they
return
with
their
vessels
empty;
they
are
ashamed
and
confounded
and
cover
their
heads.
14:4 Because
of
the
ground
that
is
dismayed,
since
there
is
no
rain
on
the
land,
the
farmers
are
ashamed;
they
cover
their
heads.
14:5 Even
the
doe
in
the
field
forsakes
her
newborn
fawn
because
there
is
no
grass.
14:6 The
wild
donkeys
stand
on
the
bare
heights;
they
pant
for
air
like
jackals;
their
eyes
fail
because
there
is
no
vegetation.
14:7 "Though
our
iniquities
testify
against
us,
act,
O
LORD,
for
your
name's
sake;
for
our
backslidings
are
many;
we
have
sinned
against
you.
14:8 O
you
hope
of
Israel,
its
savior
in
time
of
trouble,
why
should
you
be
like
a
stranger
in
the
land,
like
a
traveler
who
turns
aside
to
tarry
for
a
night
14:9 Why
should
you
be
like
a
man
confused,
like
a
mighty
warrior
who
cannot
save
Yet
you,
O
LORD,
are
in
the
midst
of
us,
and
we
are
called
by
your
name;
do
not
leave
us."
14:10 Thus
says
the
LORD
concerning
this
people:
"They
have
loved
to
wander
thus;
they
have
not
restrained
their
feet;
therefore
the
LORD
does
not
accept
them;
now
he
will
remember
their
iniquity
and
punish
their
sins."
14:11 The
LORD
said
to
me:
"Do
not
pray
for
the
welfare
of
this
people.
14:12 Though
they
fast,
I
will
not
hear
their
cry,
and
though
they
offer
burnt
offering
and
grain
offering,
I
will
not
accept
them.
But
I
will
consume
them
by
the
sword,
by
famine,
and
by
pestilence."
14:13 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.'"
14:14 And
the
LORD
said
to
me:
"The
prophets
are
prophesying
lies
in
my
name.
I
did
not
send
them,
nor
did
I
command
them
or
speak
to
them.
They
are
prophesying
to
you
a
lying
vision,
worthless
divination,
and
the
deceit
of
their
own
minds.
14:15 Therefore
thus
says
the
LORD
concerning
the
prophets
who
prophesy
in
my
name
although
I
did
not
send
them,
and
who
say,
'Sword
and
famine
shall
not
come
upon
this
land':
By
sword
and
famine
those
prophets
shall
be
consumed.
14:16 And
the
people
to
whom
they
prophesy
shall
be
cast
out
in
the
streets
of
Jerusalem,
victims
of
famine
and
sword,
with
none
to
bury
them--them,
their
wives,
their
sons,
and
their
daughters.
For
I
will
pour
out
their
evil
upon
them.
14:17 "You
shall
say
to
them
this
word:
'Let
my
eyes
run
down
with
tears
night
and
day,
and
let
them
not
cease,
for
the
virgin
daughter
of
my
people
is
shattered
with
a
great
wound,
with
a
very
grievous
blow.
14:18 If
I
go
out
into
the
field,
behold,
those
pierced
by
the
sword!
And
if
I
enter
the
city,
behold,
the
diseases
of
famine!
For
both
prophet
and
priest
ply
their
trade
through
the
land
and
have
no
knowledge.'"
14:19 Have
you
utterly
rejected
Judah
Does
your
soul
loathe
Zion
Why
have
you
struck
us
down
so
that
there
is
no
healing
for
us
We
looked
for
peace,
but
no
good
came;
for
a
time
of
healing,
but
behold,
terror.
14:20 We
acknowledge
our
wickedness,
O
LORD,
and
the
iniquity
of
our
fathers,
for
we
have
sinned
against
you.
14:21 Do
not
spurn
us,
for
your
name's
sake;
do
not
dishonor
your
glorious
throne;
remember
and
do
not
break
your
covenant
with
us.
14:22 Are
there
any
among
the
false
gods
of
the
nations
that
can
bring
rain
Or
can
the
heavens
give
showers
Are
you
not
he,
O
LORD
our
God
We
set
our
hope
on
you,
for
you
do
all
these
things.
