This is the LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought: Jer 17:8
“Judah mourns, Isa 3:26Jer 8:211Sa 5:12Lam 4:8-9Zec 7:13Jer 11:111Sa 9:16Exo 2:24
and its gates languish.
They sit in black on the ground.
The cry of Jerusalem goes up.
Their nobles send their little ones to the waters. 2Sa 15:302Ki 18:31Jer 2:13Psa 40:14Amo 4:81Ki 17:71Ki 18:5-62Sa 19:4
They come to the cisterns,
and find no water.
They return with their vessels empty.
They are disappointed and confounded,
and cover their heads.
Because of the ground which is cracked, Jol 1:11Jol 1:19-20Jer 3:3Deu 29:23Jol 1:17Lev 26:19-20Deu 28:23-24
because no rain has been in the land,
the plowmen are disappointed.
They cover their heads.
Yes, the doe in the field also calves and forsakes her young, Psa 29:9Isa 15:6Job 39:1-4
because there is no grass.
The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights. Jer 2:24Job 39:5-6Jol 1:181Sa 14:29Lam 4:17Lam 5:17
They pant for air like jackals.
Their eyes fail,
because there is no vegetation.
Though our iniquities testify against us, Psa 25:11Hos 5:5Jer 14:20-21Isa 59:12Jer 5:6Dan 9:5-16Jer 2:19Dan 9:18-19
work for your name’s sake, LORD;
for our rebellions are many.
We have sinned against you.
You hope of Israel, Jer 17:13Jer 50:7Isa 43:3Psa 50:15Isa 43:11Isa 45:21Jol 3:16Psa 37:39-40
its Savior in the time of trouble,
why should you be as a foreigner in the land,
and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?
Why should you be like a scared man, Isa 59:1Isa 63:19Jer 15:16Num 11:23Num 14:15-16Psa 46:52Co 6:16Dan 9:18-19
as a mighty man who can’t save?
Yet you, LORD, are in the middle of us,
and we are called by your name.
Don’t leave us.
The LORD says to this people: Hos 9:9Hos 8:13Psa 119:101Amo 5:22Jer 6:20Heb 8:12Jer 31:341Ki 17:18
“Even so they have loved to wander.
They have not restrained their feet.
Therefore the LORD does not accept them.
Now he will remember their iniquity,
and punish them for their sins.”
The LORD said to me, “Don’t pray for this people for their good. Jer 7:16Jer 11:14Exo 32:32-34Exo 32:10Jer 15:1 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and meal offering, I will not accept them; but I will consume them by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.” Jer 11:11Ezk 8:18Pro 1:28Ezk 14:21Jer 6:20Mic 3:4Zec 7:13Jer 16:4
Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, the prophets tell them, ‘You will not see the sword, neither will you have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.’” Jer 6:142Pe 2:1Jer 23:17Jer 4:10Mic 3:11Jer 5:12Jer 8:11Ezk 13:10-16
Then the LORD said to me, “The prophets prophesy lies in my name. I didn’t send them. I didn’t command them. I didn’t speak to them. They prophesy to you a lying vision, divination, and a thing of nothing, and the deceit of their own heart. Ezk 13:6-7Ezk 12:24Jer 29:8-9Isa 30:10-11Jer 29:31Lam 2:142Th 2:9-11Jer 27:9-10 Therefore the LORD says concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, but I didn’t send them, yet they say, ‘Sword and famine will not be in this land.’ Those prophets will be consumed by sword and famine. Jer 5:12-13Ezk 14:101Ki 22:252Pe 2:1-32Pe 2:14-17Amo 7:17Jer 20:6Jer 23:14-15 The people to whom they prophesy will be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. They will have no one to bury them—them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters, for I will pour their wickedness on them. Jer 15:2-3Jer 7:33Pro 1:31Psa 79:2-3Jer 13:22-25Jer 16:4Jer 18:21Isa 9:16
“You shall say this word to them: Jer 8:21Jer 13:17Jer 9:1Lam 1:15-16Lam 2:13Mic 6:13Isa 37:22Jer 10:19
“‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day,
and let them not cease;
for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach,
with a very grievous wound.
If I go out into the field, Ezk 7:15Lam 1:20Jer 8:10Deu 28:36Jer 5:31Jer 52:6-7Jer 6:132Pe 2:3
then behold, the slain with the sword!
If I enter into the city,
then behold, those who are sick with famine!
For both the prophet and the priest go about in the land,
and have no knowledge.’”
Have you utterly rejected Judah? Jer 8:15Lam 5:221Th 5:3Jer 6:302Ki 17:19-20Jer 12:8Jer 15:18Jer 30:13
Has your soul loathed Zion?
Why have you struck us, and there is no healing for us?
We looked for peace, but no good came;
and for a time of healing, and behold, dismay!
We acknowledge, LORD, our wickedness, Jer 3:25Psa 32:51Jn 1:7-9Luk 15:18-21Dan 9:5-8Jer 3:13Lev 26:40-42Psa 106:6-48
and the iniquity of our fathers;
for we have sinned against you.
Do not abhor us, for your name’s sake. Jer 14:7Psa 106:45Jer 3:17Dan 9:15-19Ezk 36:22-23Jer 17:12Psa 89:39-40Amo 6:8
Do not disgrace the throne of your glory.
Remember, and don’t break your covenant with us.
Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Jol 2:23Jer 5:24Psa 135:7Isa 30:23Deu 32:211Ki 17:11Ki 17:14Deu 28:12
Or can the sky give showers?
Aren’t you he, the LORD our God?
Therefore we will wait for you;
for you have made all these things.
