rotherham@Jeremiah:14:1 @ So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah, concerning the matter of the drought:
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:2 @ Judah mourneth, And the gates thereof, pine They lie in gloom on the ground, And the outcry Jerusalem, hath ascended;
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:3 @ And, their nobles have sent their menials to the waters, They have been to the pits, They have found no water They have returned, their vessels empty, They are pale and ashamed and have covered their heads.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:4 @ Because the ground, is cracked, For there hath been no rain in the land, The plowmen are pale They have covered their heads.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:5 @ For, even the hind of the field hath calved and forsaken, Because there is no young herbage;
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:6 @ Yea, wild asses stand still on the bare heights, They pant for air like jackals, Dimmed are their eyes Because there is no grass.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:7 @ Though, our iniquities, have testified against us, O Yahweh, effectually work thou for the sake of thy Name, For our apostasies have abounded Against thee, have we sinned.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:8 @ Thou Hope of Israel, His Saviour in the time of distress, Wherefore shouldst thou be as a sojourner in the and? Or as a wayfarer, who hath turned aside to lodge for the night?
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:9 @ Wherefore, shouldst thou be as a man astounded, As a mighty man who cannot save? Yet, thou, art in our midst O Yahweh And, thy Name, on us, hath been called Do not abandon us!
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:10 @ Thus, saith Yahweh To this people In this way, have they loved to wander, Their feet, have they not restrained, Yahweh, therefore hath not accepted them, Now, will he call to mind their iniquity, That he may punish their sins.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:11 @ And Yahweh said unto me, Do not pray for this people for blessing;
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:12 @ Though they fast, I am not going to hearken unto their loud cry, and Though they offer ascending-sacrifice and meal-offering, I am not going to accept them, For with sword and with famine and with pestilence, am, I, about to consume them.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:13 @ Then said I, Ah, My Lord Yahweh! Lo! the prophets, are saying to them Ye shall not see the sword And famine, shall ye not have, For prosperity in truth, will I give you, in this place.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:14 @ So then Yahweh said unto me, Falsehood, are the prophets prophesying in my name, I have not sent them Neither have I commanded them, Neither have I spoken unto them, A vision of falsehood, and A divination of worthlessness and A fraud of their own hearts, They, are prophesying unto you.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:15 @ Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh concerning the prophets who are prophesying in my Name though, I, sent them not, and yet, they have beer, saying, Neither sword nor famine, shall there be in this land, By sword or by famine, shall these prophets be consumed;
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:16 @ And the people to whom they have been prophesying shall be getting cast out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and of there being none to give burial unto them, them, their wives, nor their sons nor their daughters, So will I pour out upon them their own wickedness.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:17 @ Therefore shalt thou say unto them this word, Let mine eyes, run down with tears night and day, And let them not rest, For with a grievous injury, hath been injured the virgin the daughter of my people, With a wound, severe indeed!
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:18 @ If I have gone out into the field, Then lo! the slain of the sword! And if have entered the city, Then lo! the diseases of famine! For, both prophet and priest, have trafficked against the land unnoticed.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:19 @ Hast thou, utterly rejected, Judah? Zion itself, hath thy soul loathed? Why, hast thou smitten us so that there is for us no healing? A waiting For prosperity, but no welfare, and For a time of healing, but lo! terror!
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:20 @ We acknowledge O Yahweh Our own lawlessness The iniquity of our fathers, For we have sinned against thee.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:21 @ Do not despisefor the sake of thy Name, Do not treat with contemptthe throne of thy glory, Remember!do not break thy covenant with us.
rotherham@Jeremiah:14:22 @ Are there, among the vanities of the nations senders of rain? Or can, the heavens themselves, give myriad drops? Art not, thou, he, O Yahweh our God? Therefore will we wait for thee, For, thou, hast made all these.
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:1 @ Then said Yahweh unto me, Though Moses and Samuel should stand before me, My soul could not be toward this people, Send them away from before me And let them go forth.
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:2 @ And it shall come to pass when they say unto thee Whither shall we go? Then shalt, thou say unto them, Thus saith Yahweh Such as are for death, to death, and Such as are for t he sword, to the sword, and Such as are for famine, to the famine, and Such as are for captivity, to captivity.
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:3 @ And I will set in charge over themfour species Declareth Yahweh, The sword to slay, and The dogs to trail along, and The bird of the heavens and The beast of the earth to devour and to destroy.

rotherham@Jeremiah:15:5 @ For who shall have pity upon thee O Jerusalem? And who shall lament for thee? And who shall turn aside, to ask for thy welfare?
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:6 @ Thou, hast abandoned, me, Declareth Yahweh, Backward, thou wilt go, Therefore have I stretched forth my hand against thee and laid thee waste, I am weary of having compassion.
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:7 @ Therefore have I winnowed them with a winnowing shovel in the gates of the land, I have bereaved I have destroyed my people, From their own ways, have they not returned.
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:8 @ Their widows have become multiplied to me, beyond the sand of the seas, I have brought against themupon the mother of young menthe spoiler in the broad noon, I have let fall upon her suddenly, excitement and terrors.
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:9 @ Languisheth! she who had given birth to seven, She hath breathed out her life Her sun hath gone in, while yet it was day, She hath turned pale and hath turned red, And the remnant of them, to the sword, will I deliver before their enemies, Declareth Yahweh.
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:10 @ Woe to me! my mother, That thou didst bear me, A man of litigation and a man of contention to all the land, I have not lent on interest Nor have they lent on interest to me, Every one, hath treated me with contempt.
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:11 @ Said Yahweh, Verily, I will loose thee, for good! Verily, I will intercede for thee In the time of calamity, and In the time of distress with the enemy!

rotherham@Jeremiah:15:15 @ Thou knowest O Yahweh Remember me and visit me and avenge me upon my persecutors, Do not of thy longsuffering, take me away, Know I have borne for thy sake, reproach.
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:16 @ Thy words, were found, and I did eat them, Then became thy words unto me the joy and gladness of my heart, For thy Name hath been called upon me, O Yahweh God of hosts!
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:17 @ I sat not in the circle of mockers, Nor became I uproarious, Because of thy hand, by myself did I sit, For with indignation, hadst thou filled me.
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:18 @ Wherefore hath my pain become perpetual? And my wound, incurable? Refuseth to be healed? Wilt thou, indeed be, to me that disappointeth, Waters that cannot be trusted?
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:19 @ Wherefore Thus, saith Yahweh If thou wouldst return, I will cause thee to return Before me, shalt thou stand, Yea if thou wilt bring out the precious from among the vile, As mine own mouth shalt thou be, Let them return unto thee, But thou, shalt not return unto them;
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:20 @ So will I make thee to this people a wall of bronze, fortified, When they fight against thee, they shall not prevail against thee, For with thee, am, I, to save thee and to deliver thee, Declareth Yahweh;
rotherham@Jeremiah:15:21 @ Thus will I deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, And redeem thee out of the grasp of the tyrants.
