strkjv@Jeremiah:14:2 @ Judah Y@huwdah# mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim# is gone up.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:3 @ And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits , and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:4 @ Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

strkjv@Jeremiah:14:6 @ And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:7 @ O LORD Y@hovah#, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy names sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:8 @ O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:9 @ Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD Y@hovah#, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:10 @ Thus saith the LORD Y@hovah# unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD Y@hovah# doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:11 @ Then said the LORD Y@hovah# unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:12 @ When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:13 @ Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD Y@hovih#! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:14 @ Then the LORD Y@hovah# said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought , and the deceit of their heart.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:15 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD Y@hovah# concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:16 @ And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem Y@ruwshalaim# because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:17 @ Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very m@#od# grievous blow.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:18 @ If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:19 @ Hast thou utterly rejected Judah Y@huwdah#? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble b@#athah#!
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:20 @ We acknowledge, O LORD Y@hovah#, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:21 @ Do not abhor us, for thy names sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
strkjv@Jeremiah:14:22 @ Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD Y@hovah# our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
