Jeremiah 14:1-12 - ESV Bible - The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah...

Famine, Sword, and Pestilence

1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning ¹the drought:

2 ²"Judah mourns, and ³her gates languish; her people lament on the ground, and ⁴the cry of Jerusalem goes up.

3 Her nobles send their servants for water; they come to the cisterns; they find no water; they return with their vessels empty; they are ⁵ashamed and confounded and ⁶cover their heads.

4 Because of the ground that is dismayed, since there is ⁷no rain on the land, the farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.

5 Even ⁸the doe in the field forsakes her newborn fawn because there is no grass.

6 ⁹The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail because there is no vegetation.

7 "Though our iniquities testify against us, act, O LORD, ¹⁰for your name's sake; ¹¹for our backslidings are many; ¹²we have sinned against you.

8 ¹³O you hope of Israel, its savior in time of trouble, why should you be like a stranger in the land, like a traveler who turns aside to tarry for a night?

9 Why should you be like a man confused, ¹⁴like a mighty warrior who cannot save? Yet ¹⁵you, O LORD, are in the midst of us, and ¹⁶we are called by your name; ¹⁷do not leave us."

10 Thus says the LORD concerning this people: "They have loved to wander thus; they have not restrained their feet; ¹⁸therefore the LORD does not accept them; ¹⁹now he will remember their iniquity and punish their sins."

11 The LORD said to me: ²⁰"Do not pray for the welfare of this people.

12 Though they fast, I will not hear their cry, ²¹and though they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But I will consume them ²²by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence."
