The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to JeremiahH3414 concerningH1697 the dearthH1226. {the dearth: Heb. the words of the dearths, or, restraints}
JudahH3063 mournethH56, and the gatesH8179 thereof languishH535; they are blackH6937 unto the groundH776; and the cryH6682 of JerusalemH3389 is gone upH5927.
And their noblesH117 have sentH7971 their little onesH6810 to the watersH4325: they cameH935 to the pitsH1356+H1360, and foundH4672 no waterH4325; they returnedH7725 with their vesselsH3627 emptyH7387; they were ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637, and coveredH2645 their headsH7218.
Because the groundH127 is chaptH2865, for there was no rainH1653 in the earthH776, the plowmenH406 were ashamedH954, they coveredH2645 their headsH7218.
Yea, the hindH365 also calvedH3205 in the fieldH7704, and forsookH5800 it, because there was no grassH1877.
And the wild assesH6501 did standH5975 in the high placesH8205, they snuffed upH7602 the windH7307 like dragonsH8577; their eyesH5869 did failH3615, because there was no grassH6212.
O LORDH3068, though our iniquitiesH5771 testifyH6030 against us, doH6213 thou it for thy name'sH8034 sake: for our backslidingsH4878 are manyH7231; we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
O the hopeH4723 of IsraelH3478, the saviourH3467 thereof in timeH6256 of troubleH6869, why shouldest thou be as a strangerH1616 in the landH776, and as a wayfaring manH732 that turneth asideH5186 to tarry for a nightH3885?
Why shouldest thou be as a manH376 astoniedH1724, as a mighty manH1368 that cannotH3201 saveH3467? yet thou, O LORDH3068, art in the midstH7130 of us, and we are calledH7121 by thy nameH8034; leaveH3240 us not. {we…: Heb. thy name is called upon us}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto this peopleH5971, Thus have they lovedH157 to wanderH5128, they have not refrainedH2820 their feetH7272, therefore the LORDH3068 doth not acceptH7521 them; he will now rememberH2142 their iniquityH5771, and visitH6485 their sinsH2403.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, PrayH6419 not for this peopleH5971 for their goodH2896.
When they fastH6684, I will not hearH8085 their cryH7440; and when they offerH5927 burnt offeringH5930 and an oblationH4503, I will not acceptH7521 them: but I will consumeH3615 them by the swordH2719, and by the famineH7458, and by the pestilenceH1698.
Then saidH559 I, AhH162, LordH136 GODH3069! behold, the prophetsH5030 sayH559 unto them, Ye shall not seeH7200 the swordH2719, neither shall ye have famineH7458; but I will giveH5414 you assuredH571 peaceH7965 in this placeH4725. {assured…: Heb. peace of truth}
Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 liesH8267 in my nameH8034: I sentH7971 them not, neither have I commandedH6680 them, neither spakeH1696 unto them: they prophesyH5012 unto you a falseH8267 visionH2377 and divinationH7081, and a thing of noughtH457+H434, and the deceitH8649 of their heartH3820.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 concerning the prophetsH5030 that prophesyH5012 in my nameH8034, and I sentH7971 them not, yet they sayH559, SwordH2719 and famineH7458 shall not be in this landH776; By swordH2719 and famineH7458 shall those prophetsH5030 be consumedH8552.
And the peopleH5971 to whom they prophesyH5012 shall be cast outH7993 in the streetsH2351 of JerusalemH3389 becauseH6440 of the famineH7458 and the swordH2719; and they shall have none to buryH6912 themH1992, them, their wivesH802, nor their sonsH1121, nor their daughtersH1323: for I will pourH8210 their wickednessH7451 upon them.
Therefore thou shalt sayH559 this wordH1697 unto them; Let mine eyesH5869 run downH3381 with tearsH1832 nightH3915 and dayH3119, and let them not ceaseH1820: for the virginH1330 daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 is brokenH7665 with a greatH1419 breachH7667, with a veryH3966 grievousH2470 blowH4347.
If I go forthH3318 into the fieldH7704, then behold the slainH2491 with the swordH2719! and if I enterH935 into the cityH5892, then behold them that are sickH8463 with famineH7458! yea, both the prophetH5030 and the priestH3548 go aboutH5503 into a landH776 that they knowH3045 not. {go about…: or, make merchandise against a land, and men acknowledge it not}
Hast thou utterlyH3988 rejectedH3988 JudahH3063? hath thy soulH5315 lothedH1602 ZionH6726? why hast thou smittenH5221 us, and there is no healingH4832 for us? we lookedH6960 for peaceH7965, and there is no goodH2896; and for the timeH6256 of healingH4832, and behold troubleH1205!
We acknowledgeH3045, O LORDH3068, our wickednessH7562, and the iniquityH5771 of our fathersH1: for we have sinnedH2398 against thee.
Do not abhorH5006 us, for thy name'sH8034 sake, do not disgraceH5034 the throneH3678 of thy gloryH3519: rememberH2142, breakH6565 not thy covenantH1285 with us.
Are thereH3426 any among the vanitiesH1892 of the GentilesH1471 that can cause rainH1652? or can the heavensH8064 giveH5414 showersH7241? art not thou he, O LORDH3068 our GodH430? therefore we will waitH6960 upon thee: for thou hast madeH6213 all these things.

The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH7287 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it so: and what will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof? {bear…: or, take into their hands}

Thine own wickednessH7451 shall correctH3256 thee, and thy backslidingsH4878 shall reproveH3198 thee: knowH3045 therefore and seeH7200 that it is an evilH7451 thing and bitterH4751, that thou hast forsakenH5800 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and that my fearH6345 is not in thee, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635.

Thy wayH1870 and thy doingsH4611 have procuredH6213 these things unto thee; this is thy wickednessH7451, because it is bitterH4751, because it reachethH5060 unto thine heartH3820.

And it shall come to pass, if they sayH559 unto thee, Whither shall we go forthH3318? then thou shalt tellH559 them, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Such as are for deathH4194, to deathH4194; and such as are for the swordH2719, to the swordH2719; and such as are for the famineH7458, to the famineH7458; and such as are for the captivityH7628, to the captivityH7628.
And if thou sayH559 in thine heartH3824, Wherefore comeH7122 these things upon me? For the greatnessH7230 of thine iniquityH5771 are thy skirtsH7757 discoveredH1540, and thy heelsH6119 made bareH2554. {made…: or, shall be violently taken away}
Can the EthiopianH3569 changeH2015 his skinH5785, or the leopardH5246 his spotsH2272? then mayH3201 ye also do goodH3190, that are accustomedH3928 to do evilH7489. {accustomed: Heb. taught}

They shall dieH4191 of grievousH8463 deathsH4463; they shall not be lamentedH5594; neither shall they be buriedH6912; but they shall be as dungH1828 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127: and they shall be consumedH3615 by the swordH2719, and by famineH7458; and their carcasesH5038 shall be meatH3978 for the fowlsH5775 of heavenH8064, and for the beastsH929 of the earthH776.

And I will make voidH1238 the counselH6098 of JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 in this placeH4725; and I will cause them to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, and by the handsH3027 of them that seekH1245 their livesH5315: and their carcasesH5038 will I giveH5414 to be meatH3978 for the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064, and for the beastsH929 of the earthH776.
