Jeremiah 14 (kjv)

The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 concerning^H1697 the dearth^H1226.²Judah^H3063 mourneth^H56, and the gates^H8179 thereof languish^H535; they are black^H6937 unto the ground^H776; and the cry^H6682 of Jerusalem^H3389 is gone up^H5927.³And their nobles^H117 have sent^H7971 their little ones^H6810 to the waters^H4325: they came^H935 to the pits^{H1356 H1360}, and found^H4672 no water^H4325; they returned^H7725 with their vessels^H3627 empty^H7387; they were ashamed^H954 and confounded^H3637, and covered^H2645 their heads^H7218.⁴Because the ground^H127 is chapt^H2865, for there was no rain^H1653 in the earth^H776, the plowmen^H406 were ashamed^H954, they covered^H2645 their heads^H7218.⁵Yea, the hind^H365 also calved^H3205 in the field^H7704, and forsook^H5800 it, because there was no grass^H1877.⁶And the wild asses^H6501 did stand^H5975 in the high places^H8205, they snuffed up^H7602 the wind^H7307 like dragons^H8577; their eyes^H5869 did fail^H3615, because there was no grass^H6212.

⁷O LORD^H3068, though our iniquities^H5771 testify^H6030 against us, do^H6213 thou it for thy name's^H8034 sake: for our backslidings^H4878 are many^H7231; we have sinned^H2398 against thee.⁸O the hope^H4723 of Israel^H3478, the saviour^H3467 thereof in time^H6256 of trouble^H6869, why shouldest thou be as a stranger^H1616 in the land^H776, and as a wayfaring man^H732 that turneth aside^H5186 to tarry for a night^H3885?⁹Why shouldest thou be as a man^H376 astonied^H1724, as a mighty man^H1368 that cannot^H3201 save^H3467? yet thou, O LORD^H3068, art in the midst^H7130 of us, and we are called^H7121 by thy name^H8034; leave^H3240 us not.

¹⁰Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 unto this people^H5971, Thus have they loved^H157 to wander^H5128, they have not refrained^H2820 their feet^H7272, therefore the LORD^H3068 doth not accept^H7521 them; he will now remember^H2142 their iniquity^H5771, and visit^H6485 their sins^H2403.¹¹Then said^H559 the LORD^H3068 unto me, Pray^H6419 not for this people^H5971 for their good^H2896.¹²When they fast^H6684, I will not hear^H8085 their cry^H7440; and when they offer^H5927 burnt offering^H5930 and an oblation^H4503, I will not accept^H7521 them: but I will consume^H3615 them by the sword^H2719, and by the famine^H7458, and by the pestilence^H1698.

¹³Then said^H559 I, Ah^H162, Lord^H136 GOD^H3069! behold, the prophets^H5030 say^H559 unto them, Ye shall not see^H7200 the sword^H2719, neither shall ye have famine^H7458; but I will give^H5414 you assured^H571 peace^H7965 in this place^H4725.¹⁴Then the LORD^H3068 said^H559 unto me, The prophets^H5030 prophesy^H5012 lies^H8267 in my name^H8034: I sent^H7971 them not, neither have I commanded^H6680 them, neither spake^H1696 unto them: they prophesy^H5012 unto you a false^H8267 vision^H2377 and divination^H7081, and a thing of nought^{H457 H434}, and the deceit^H8649 of their heart^H3820.¹⁵Therefore thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 concerning the prophets^H5030 that prophesy^H5012 in my name^H8034, and I sent^H7971 them not, yet they say^H559, Sword^H2719 and famine^H7458 shall not be in this land^H776; By sword^H2719 and famine^H7458 shall those prophets^H5030 be consumed^H8552.¹⁶And the people^H5971 to whom they prophesy^H5012 shall be cast out^H7993 in the streets^H2351 of Jerusalem^H3389 because^H6440 of the famine^H7458 and the sword^H2719; and they shall have none to bury^H6912 them^H1992, them, their wives^H802, nor their sons^H1121, nor their daughters^H1323: for I will pour^H8210 their wickedness^H7451 upon them.

¹⁷Therefore thou shalt say^H559 this word^H1697 unto them; Let mine eyes^H5869 run down^H3381 with tears^H1832 night^H3915 and day^H3119, and let them not cease^H1820: for the virgin^H1330 daughter^H1323 of my people^H5971 is broken^H7665 with a great^H1419 breach^H7667, with a very^H3966 grievous^H2470 blow^H4347.¹⁸If I go forth^H3318 into the field^H7704, then behold the slain^H2491 with the sword^H2719! and if I enter^H935 into the city^H5892, then behold them that are sick^H8463 with famine^H7458! yea, both the prophet^H5030 and the priest^H3548 go about^H5503 into a land^H776 that they know^H3045 not.¹⁹Hast thou utterly^H3988 rejected^H3988 Judah^H3063? hath thy soul^H5315 lothed^H1602 Zion^H6726? why hast thou smitten^H5221 us, and there is no healing^H4832 for us? we looked^H6960 for peace^H7965, and there is no good^H2896; and for the time^H6256 of healing^H4832, and behold trouble^H1205!²⁰We acknowledge^H3045, O LORD^H3068, our wickedness^H7562, and the iniquity^H5771 of our fathers^H1: for we have sinned^H2398 against thee.²¹Do not abhor^H5006 us, for thy name's^H8034 sake, do not disgrace^H5034 the throne^H3678 of thy glory^H3519: remember^H2142, break^H6565 not thy covenant^H1285 with us.²²Are there^H3426 any among the vanities^H1892 of the Gentiles^H1471 that can cause rain^H1652? or can the heavens^H8064 give^H5414 showers^H7241? art not thou he, O LORD^H3068 our God^H430? therefore we will wait^H6960 upon thee: for thou hast made^H6213 all these things.
