Jeremiah 14:1
NASB
Jere 14:1
&
That which came as the word of the LORD to Jeremiah in regard to the drought:
Jere 14:2
&
"Judah mourns And her gates languish; They sit on the ground in mourning, And the cry of Jerusalem has ascended.
Jere 14:3
&
"Their nobles have sent their servants for water; They have come to the cisterns and found no water. They have returned with their vessels empty; They have been put to shame and humiliated, And they cover their heads.
Jere 14:4
&
"Because the ground is cracked, For there has been no rain on the land; The farmers have been put to shame, They have covered their heads.
Jere 14:5
&
"For even the doe in the field has given birth only to abandon {her young,} Because there is no grass.
Jere 14:6
&
"The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; They pant for air like jackals, Their eyes fail For there is no vegetation.
Jere 14:7
&
"Although our iniquities testify against us, O LORD, act for Your name's sake! Truly our apostasies have been many, We have sinned against You.
Jere 14:8
&
"O Hope of Israel, Its Savior in time of distress, Why are You like a stranger in the land Or like a traveler who has pitched his {tent} for the night?
Jere 14:9
&
"Why are You like a man dismayed, Like a mighty man who cannot save? Yet You are in our midst, O LORD, And we are called by Your name; Do not forsake us!"
