The word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ that came to Jeremiah³⁴¹⁴ concerning¹⁶⁹⁷ the dearth.¹²²⁶

Judah³⁰⁶³ mourneth,⁵⁶ and the gates⁸¹⁷⁹ thereof languish;⁵³⁵ they are black⁶⁹³⁷ unto the ground;⁷⁷⁶ and the cry⁶⁶⁸² of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ is gone up.⁵⁹²⁷

And their nobles¹¹⁷ have sent⁷⁹⁷¹ their little ones⁶⁸¹⁰ to the waters:⁴³²⁵ they came⁹³⁵ to the pits,¹³⁵⁶ and found⁴⁶⁷² no water;⁴³²⁵ they returned⁷⁷²⁵ with their vessels³⁶²⁷ empty;⁷³⁸⁷ they were ashamed⁹⁵⁴ and confounded,³⁶³⁷ and covered²⁶⁴⁵ their heads.⁷²¹⁸

Because the ground¹²⁷ is chapt,²⁸⁶⁵ for there was no rain¹⁶⁵³ in the earth,⁷⁷⁶ the plowmen⁴⁰⁶ were ashamed,⁹⁵⁴ they covered²⁶⁴⁵ their heads.⁷²¹⁸

Yea, the hind³⁶⁵ also calved³²⁰⁵ in the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ and forsook⁵⁸⁰⁰ it, because there was no grass.¹⁸⁷⁷

And the wild donkeys⁶⁵⁰¹ did stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ in the high places,⁸²⁰⁵ they snuffed up⁷⁶⁰² the wind⁷³⁰⁷ like dragons;⁸⁵⁷⁷ their eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ did fail,³⁶¹⁵ because there was no grass.⁶²¹²

O Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ though our iniquities⁵⁷⁷¹ testify⁶⁰³⁰ against us, do⁶²¹³ thou it for thy name's⁸⁰³⁴ sake: for our backslidings⁴⁸⁷⁸ are many;⁷²³¹ we have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee.

O the hope⁴⁷²³ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ the saviour³⁴⁶⁷ thereof in time⁶²⁵⁶ of trouble,⁶⁸⁶⁹ why shouldest thou be as a stranger¹⁶¹⁶ in the land,⁷⁷⁶ and as a wayfaring man⁷³² that turneth aside⁵¹⁸⁶ to tarry for a night?³⁸⁸⁵

Why shouldest thou be as a man³⁷⁶ astonied,¹⁷²⁴ as a mighty man¹³⁶⁸ that cannot³⁸⁰⁸ save?³⁴⁶⁷ yet thou, O Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ art in the midst⁷¹³⁰ of us, and we are called⁷¹²¹ by thy name;⁸⁰³⁴ leave³²⁴⁰ us not.

Thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ unto this people,⁵⁹⁷¹ Thus have they loved¹⁵⁷ to wander,⁵¹²⁸ they have not refrained²⁸²⁰ their feet,⁷²⁷² therefore Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ doth not accept⁷⁵²¹ them; he will now remember²¹⁴² their iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ and visit⁶⁴⁸⁵ their sins.²⁴⁰³

Then said⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ unto me, Pray⁶⁴¹⁹ not for this people⁵⁹⁷¹ for their good.²⁸⁹⁶

Jeremiah 11:14

When they fast,⁶⁶⁸⁴ I will not hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ their cry;⁷⁴⁴⁰ and when they offer⁵⁹²⁷ burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ and an oblation,⁴⁵⁰³ I will not accept⁷⁵²¹ them: but I will consume³⁶¹⁵ them by the sword,²⁷¹⁹ and by the famine,⁷⁴⁵⁸ and by the pestilence.¹⁶⁹⁸

Then said⁵⁵⁹ I, Ah,¹⁶² my Sovereign¹³⁶ Yahweh!³⁰⁶⁹ behold, the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ say⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Ye shall not see⁷²⁰⁰ the sword,²⁷¹⁹ neither shall ye have famine;⁷⁴⁵⁸ but I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ you assured⁵⁷¹ peace⁷⁹⁶⁵ in this place.⁴⁷²⁵

Then Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto me, The prophets⁵⁰³⁰ prophesy⁵⁰¹² lies⁸²⁶⁷ in my name:⁸⁰³⁴ I sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them not, neither have I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ them, neither spake¹⁶⁹⁶ unto them: they prophesy⁵⁰¹² unto you a false⁸²⁶⁷ vision²³⁷⁷ and divination,⁷⁰⁸¹ and a thing of nought,⁴³⁴ and the deceit⁸⁶⁴⁹ of their heart.³⁸²⁰

Jeremiah 23:25

Therefore thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ concerning the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ that prophesy⁵⁰¹² in my name,⁸⁰³⁴ and I sent⁷⁹⁷¹ them not, yet they say,⁵⁵⁹ Sword²⁷¹⁹ and famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ shall not be in this land;⁷⁷⁶ By sword²⁷¹⁹ and famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ shall those prophets⁵⁰³⁰ be consumed.⁸⁵⁵²

And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ to whom they prophesy⁵⁰¹² shall be cast out⁷⁹⁹³ in the streets²³⁵¹ of Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ because⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ and the sword;²⁷¹⁹ and they shall have none to bury⁶⁹¹² them,¹⁹⁹² them, their wives,⁸⁰² nor their sons,¹¹²¹ nor their daughters:¹³²³ for I will pour⁸²¹⁰ their wickedness⁷⁴⁵¹ upon them.

Therefore thou shalt say⁵⁵⁹ this word¹⁶⁹⁷ unto them; Let mine eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ run down³³⁸¹ with tears¹⁸³² night³⁹¹⁵ and day,³¹¹⁹ and let them not cease:¹⁸²⁰ for the virgin¹³³⁰ daughter¹³²³ of my people⁵⁹⁷¹ is broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ with a great¹⁴¹⁹ breach,⁷⁶⁶⁷ with a very³⁹⁶⁶ grievous²⁴⁷⁰ blow.⁴³⁴⁷

If I go forth³³¹⁸ into the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ then behold the slain²⁴⁹¹ with the sword!²⁷¹⁹ and if I enter⁹³⁵ into the city,⁵⁸⁹² then behold them that are sick⁸⁴⁶³ with famine!⁷⁴⁵⁸ yea, both the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ and the priest³⁵⁴⁸ go about⁵⁵⁰³ into a land⁷⁷⁶ that they know³⁰⁴⁵ not.

Hast thou utterly³⁹⁸⁸ rejected³⁹⁸⁸ Judah?³⁰⁶³ hath thy soul⁵³¹⁵ lothed¹⁶⁰² Zion?⁶⁷²⁶ why hast thou smitten⁵²²¹ us, and there is no healing⁴⁸³² for us? we looked⁶⁹⁶⁰ for peace,⁷⁹⁶⁵ and there is no good;²⁸⁹⁶ and for the time⁶²⁵⁶ of healing,⁴⁸³² and behold trouble!¹²⁰⁵

We acknowledge,³⁰⁴⁵ O Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ our wickedness,⁷⁵⁶² and the iniquity⁵⁷⁷¹ of our fathers:¹ for we have sinned²³⁹⁸ against thee.

Do not abhor⁵⁰⁰⁶ us, for thy name's⁸⁰³⁴ sake, do not disgrace⁵⁰³⁴ the throne³⁶⁷⁸ of thy glory:³⁵¹⁹ remember,²¹⁴² break⁶⁵⁶⁵ not thy covenant¹²⁸⁵ with us.

Are there³⁴²⁶ any among the vanities¹⁸⁹² of the Gentiles¹⁴⁷¹ that can cause rain?¹⁶⁵² or can the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ give⁵⁴¹⁴ showers?⁷²⁴¹ art not thou he, O Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ our Elohim?⁴³⁰ therefore we will wait⁶⁹⁶⁰ upon thee: for thou hast made⁶²¹³ all these things.
