Jeremiah:14:1-15
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts.
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:2 @ "Judah mourns, And her gates languish; They mourn for the land, And the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:3 @ 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.
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:4 @ Because the ground is parched, For there was no rain in the land, The plowmen were ashamed; They covered their heads.
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:5 @ Yes, the deer also gave birth in the field, But left because there was no grass.
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:6 @ And the wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights; They sniffed at the wind like jackals; Their eyes failed because there was no grass."
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:7 @ 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.
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:8 @ 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?
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:9 @ 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!
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:10 @ 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."
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:11 @ Then the LORD said to me, "Do not pray for this people, for their good.
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:12 @ 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."
nkjv@Jeremiah: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."'
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:14 @ 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.
nkjv@Jeremiah:14:15 @ 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!
