예레미야 14장 NASB
- 1 That which came as the word of the LORD to Jeremiah in regard to the drought:
- 2 "Judah mourns And her gates languish; They sit on the ground in mourning And the cry of Jerusalem has ascended.
- 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.
- 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.
- 5 "For even the doe in the field has given birth only to abandon her young Because there is no grass.
- 6 "The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; They pant for air like jackals Their eyes fail For there is no vegetation.
- 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.
- 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?
- 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!"
- 10 Thus says the LORD to this people "Even so they have loved to wander; they have not kept their feet in check. Therefore the LORD does not accept them; now He will remember their iniquity and call their sins to account."
- 11 So the LORD said to me "Do not pray for the welfare of this people.
- 12 "When they fast I am not going to listen to their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and grain offering I am not going to accept them. Rather I am going to make an end of them by the sword famine and pestilence."
- 13 But "Ah Lord GOD!" I said "Look the prophets are telling them 'You will not see the sword nor will you have famine but I will give you lasting peace in this place.'"
- 14 Then the LORD said to me "The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision divination futility and the deception of their own minds.
- 15 "Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who are prophesying in My name although it was not I who sent them--yet they keep saying 'There will be no sword or famine in this land'--by sword and famine those prophets shall meet their end!
- 16 "The people also to whom they are prophesying will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and there will be no one to bury them--neither them nor their wives nor their sons nor their daughters--for I will pour out their own wickedness on them.
- 17 "You will say this word to them 'Let my eyes flow down with tears night and day And let them not cease; For the virgin daughter of my people has been crushed with a mighty blow With a sorely infected wound.
- 18 'If I go out to the country Behold those slain with the sword! Or if I enter the city Behold diseases of famine! For both prophet and priest Have gone roving about in the land that they do not know.'"
- 19 Have You completely rejected Judah? Or have You loathed Zion? Why have You stricken us so that we are beyond healing? We waited for peace but nothing good came; And for a time of healing but behold terror!
- 20 We know our wickedness O LORD The iniquity of our fathers for we have sinned against You.
- 21 Do not despise us for Your own name's sake; Do not disgrace the throne of Your glory; Remember and do not annul Your covenant with us.
- 22 Are there any among the idols of the nations who give rain? Or can the heavens grant showers? Is it not You O LORD our God? Therefore we hope in You For You are the one who has done all these things.
