Verse
YLT

Berean Standard Bible
That
which
hath
been
the word of Jehovah
unto
Jeremiah concerning the matters
of
the
dearths
:
This
is
the word of the
LORD
that
came
to
Jeremiah concerning the drought
:
Mourned
hath
Judah ,
and her gates have
languished,
They
have
mourned
to
the earth
, And the
cry of
Jerusalem
hath
gone
up.
“
Judah mourns
and her gates languish.
Her
people
wail
for
the land
, and a
cry goes
up from
Jerusalem
.
And
their
honourable
ones
have
sent
their
little
ones
to
the water ,
They have
come
unto
ditches
, They
have
not
found
water ,
They
have
turned
back
--
their vessels
empty !
They have
been
ashamed ,
And have
blushed
and
covered
their head
.
The nobles
send
their
servants
for
water ;
they go
to
the
cisterns
, but
find
no
water ;
their jars
return
empty .
They are
ashamed and humiliated;
they
cover
their heads
.
Because
the ground hath
been
broken,
For
there
hath
been
no rain in
the land ,
Ashamed have
been
husbandmen,
They have
covered
their head
.
The ground is
cracked
because
no rain has
fallen
on
the land .
The
farmers
are
ashamed ;
they cover
their heads
.
For
even the hind
in the field hath
brought
forth
--
to
forsake
`it!'
For
there hath
been
no grass.
Even the doe
in the field deserts
her
newborn
fawn
because
there is
no grass.
And
wild asses
have
stood
on high
places,
They have
swallowed
up
wind
like dragons,
Consumed
have
been
their eyes ,
for there
is
no
herb
.
Wild donkeys
stand
on barren
heights;
they pant
for
air
like jackals;
their eyes fail
for lack
of
pasture
. ”
Surely
our iniquities have
testified
against us, O Jehovah
, work
for Thy
name's
sake, For
many
have
been
our backslidings,
Against
Thee
we have sinned.
Although
our iniquities testify
against us, O LORD
, act
for the
sake of
Your
name.
Indeed
, our rebellions
are
many;
we have sinned against
You
.
O Hope of Israel --
its saviour
in time
of trouble
, Why art
Thou
as
a sojourner
in the land ?
And
as
a traveller
turned
aside
to
lodge
?
O Hope of Israel ,
its Savior
in times
of distress
, why are
You
like
a stranger
in the land ,
like
a traveler
who
stays
but
a
night
?
Why art
Thou
as
one
dumb?
As
a mighty
one
not
able
to save? And
Thou
`art'
in
our
midst
, O Jehovah
, And Thy
name
over
us
is
called ,
leave
us
not
.
Why are
You
like
a man
taken
by
surprise,
like
a
warrior
powerless
to save? Yet
You
are
among
us
, O LORD
, and we
are
called by
Your
name
. Do
not
forsake
us!
Thus
said
Jehovah
concerning
this people: Well
they have
loved
to wander ,
Their
feet
they have not restrained ,
And
Jehovah
hath
not accepted
them ,
Now
doth
He remember their iniquity,
And inspect
their sin
.
This is
what
the
LORD
says
about
this
people: “Truly
they love
to wander ;
they have not restrained their
feet.
So
the
LORD
does
not accept
them ;
He will
now
remember their guilt
and call
their sins
to
account
. ”
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
me :
Thou
dost
not pray for this people for
good,
Then
the
LORD
said
to
me ,
“Do
not pray for the
well-being
of
this people .
When
they fast, I hearken
not unto
their cry ,
And
when
they cause
to
ascend
burnt -offering
and present
, I accept them not
, For
by sword ,
and by
famine ,
And by
pestilence,
I
am
consuming
them
.
Although
they may
fast, I will
not listen
to
their cry ;
although
they may
offer
burnt offerings
and grain
offerings
, I will
not
accept them .
Instead
, I
will
finish
them
off
by sword and famine and plague
. ”
And
I
say,
`
Ah, Lord Jehovah
, Lo
, the prophets are saying
to
them :
Ye
do
not see a
sword ,
yea,
famine is
not
to
you
, For
true
peace
I give to
you in this place. '
“
Ah, Lord GOD!”
I
replied
, “Look
, the prophets are telling
them ,
‘You
will
not see the
sword or
suffer
famine, but
I will
give you lasting
peace
in this place. ’”
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
me:
Falsehood
the prophets are prophesying in My name, I did not send them ,
nor
command
them ,
Nor
have
I
spoken
unto
them :
A false vision, and
divination, and
vanity,
And
the deceit
of their own heart,
they
are
prophesying
to
you
.
“
The prophets are prophesying lies
in My name, ”
replied
the
LORD.
“
I did not send them or
appoint
them or
speak
to
them .
They
are
prophesying
to
you
a false vision, a
worthless
divination, the futility
and
delusion
of their own minds
.
Therefore ,
thus
said
Jehovah
concerning
the prophets who are
prophesying
in My name ,
and
I have
not sent
them, and
they are
saying
, Sword and
famine is
not
in
this land :
By sword and by
famine are
these prophets consumed.
Therefore this
is
what
the LORD
says
about
the
prophets who prophesy
in My name :
I did
not send
them, yet
they say
, ‘No
sword or
famine will
touch
this land .’
By sword and famine these very
prophets will
meet
their
end!
And the people to whom they are
prophesying,
Are
cast
into out-places
of Jerusalem ,
Because of the
famine ,
and of
the
sword ,
And
they
have
none
burying
them,
Them ,
their wives, and
their sons ,
and
their daughters ,
And
I have
poured
out upon them this
evil
.
And the people to whom they prophesy
will
be
thrown
into the
streets
of Jerusalem because of famine and sword .
There
will
be
no
one
to
bury
them or
their wives, their sons or
their daughters .
I will
pour
out their
own
evil
upon them.
And
thou
hast
said
unto
them
this word: Tears
come
down
mine
eyes night
and
day ,
And they do not cease, For ,
`with'
a
great
breach,
Broken
hath
been
the virgin daughter of my people, A very
grievous stroke
.
You
are
to
speak
this word to
them
: ‘My
eyes overflow
with
tears;
day and night
they do not cease, for the virgin daughter of my people has
been
shattered
by
a
crushing
blow
, a severely
grievous wound
.
If I have
gone
forth
to the field,
Then,
lo
, the
pierced
of
the sword !
And
if I have
entered
the city, Then,
lo,
the
diseased
of
famine! For both prophet and priest have
gone
up
and
down
Unto
a land that
they knew
not.
If I go
out
to the country
, I
see
those
slain
by
the sword ;
if I enter
the city, I
see
those
ravaged
by
famine! For both prophet and priest travel
to
a land they do
not know
. ’”
Hast
Thou
utterly
rejected Judah? Zion hath
Thy
soul
loathed
? Wherefore
hast
Thou
smitten
us ,
And
there
is
no
healing to
us
? Looking
for peace, and
there
is
no good, And for a
time of healing, and
lo,
terror.
Have
You
rejected Judah completely
? Do
You
despise
Zion? Why
have
You
stricken
us so
that
we
are
beyond
healing? We
hoped
for peace, but
no good has
come
, and for the
time of healing, but
there
was
only
terror.
We have
known,
O
Jehovah,
our wickedness, The iniquity
of our fathers, For
we have sinned against Thee
.
We acknowledge
our wickedness, O
LORD,
the guilt
of our fathers ;
indeed
, we have sinned against You
.
Do not despise ,
for
Thy
name's
sake,
Dishonour
not the
throne of
Thine
honour,
Remember ,
break
not
Thy
covenant with us.
For
the
sake
of
Your
name
do not despise us;
do
not disgrace
Your
glorious
throne .
Remember Your
covenant with us ;
do
not
break
it
.
Are
there
among
the vanities
of the nations any
causing
rain? And
do the heavens
give
showers? Art
not Thou
He
, O Jehovah
our God? And
we wait
for
thee
, for Thou
--
Thou
hast
done all these !
Can
the worthless
idols
of the nations bring
rain? Do the skies
alone
send
showers? Is
this
not by
You
, O LORD
our God? So
we put
our
hope
in
You
, for You
have
done all these things.
