1This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:
“The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth,”
2"Judah mourns and her gates languish. Her people wail for the land, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.
“and the gates thereof languish. They are black unto the ground, and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.”
“Judah mourns and her gates languish. They sit on the ground in mourning and the cry of Jerusalem is ascended.”
3The 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.
“and their nobles have sent their little ones to the water holes. But they came to the water holes and found no water. So they returned with their vessels empty. They were ashamed and confounded and they covered their heads”
4The ground is cracked because no rain has fallen on the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.
“because the ground is chapped for there was no rain in the earth and the plowmen were ashamed. They covered their heads.”
5Even the doe in the field deserts her newborn fawn because there is no grass.

6Wild donkeys stand on barren heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail for lack of pasture."
“And the wild asses did stand in the high places. They snuffed up the wind like dragons. Their eyes did fail because there was no grass.”
7Although 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 Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake, for our backslidings are many. We have sinned against thee.”
“Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake. For our backslidings are many. We have sinned against”
“although our iniquities testify against us. Oh Lord act for your name's sake. Truly our apostasies have been many we have sinned against you.”
8O 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?
“Hope of Israel verse 8. It's 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?”
“the hope of Israel His Savior in time of trouble. Why should you? Be like a stranger in the land and like a traveler who turns aside to tarry a night.”
9Why 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!

10This 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."
“Thus saith the Lord unto this people,. Thus have they loved to wander. They have not refrained their feet. Therefore the Lord doth not accept them. He will now remember their iniquity and visit their sins.”
“Thus says the Lord to this people. Even so, they have loved to wander. 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.”
“Thus saith the Lord unto this people. Thus have they loved to wonder. They have not refrained their feet. Therefore the Lord does not accept them. He will now remember their iniquity and visit their sins.”
11Then the LORD said to me, "Do not pray for the well-being of this people.
“Then said the Lord unto me, pray not for this people for their good.”
“the Lord said to me, do not pray for the welfare of this people”
“So the Lord said to me do not pray for the welfare of these people.”
12Although 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."
“when they fast, I will not hear their cry. When they offer burnt offerings and an oblation, I will not accept them, but I will consume them by the sword and by the famine and by the pestilence.”
13"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.'"
“Then I said, Ah, Lord God, behold, the prophets say to them, You shall not see the sword, neither shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.”
“then I said, Ah Lord God, behold the prophets said to them, you shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you assured peace in this place.”
“But, O Lord God, I said, Look, the prophets are telling them, You will not see the sword, nor will you see famine. But I'll give you lasting peace in this place.”
14"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.

15Therefore 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!
“Therefore, thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not. Yet they say, sword and famine shall not be in this land. By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.”
“Therefore, thus said the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name. And I sent them not. Yet they say sword and famine shall not be in this land. By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.”

“Therefore, thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in my name, whom I did not send, and who say a sword and famine shall not be in this land, by sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed.”
“Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name and I sent them not. Yet they say, sword and famine shall not be in the land. By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.”
“Therefore, thus says the Lord, concerning the prophets who are prophesying in my name, although it was not I who sent them, yet they kept saying, There'll be no sword or famine in this land. By sword and famine, those prophets…”
16And 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 the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. They will have no one to bury them, them nor their wives, their sons nor their daughters, for I will pour…”
“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…”
“The people also, to whom they are prophesying, will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword. There'll be no one to bury them, neither them, nor their wives, nor their sons, nor their…”
17You 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.
“Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them. Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day. Let them not cease, for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.”
“Therefore, thou shall say this word to them. Let mine eyes run down with tears, night and day, the weeping prophet, let them not cease for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach with a very grievous blow.”
18If 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.'"
