가뭄과 기근과 전쟁
14 이것은 가뭄에 대하여 여호와께서 나에게 하신 말씀이다.
2 “유다가 슬퍼하며 그 성들이 시들어 가고 백성들이 땅에 앉아 통곡하니 예루살렘에서도 부르짖는구나.
3 귀족들이 물을 길어오라고 자기 종들을 보내지만 그들은 우물에 가도 물을 얻지 못하고 빈 그릇만 들고 오게 되니 낙심도 되고 미안하기도 하여 얼굴을 들지 못하고 가리고 만다.
4 비가 내리지 않아 땅이 갈라지니 농부들이 낙심하여 얼굴을 가리는구나.
5 들에 있는 암사슴은 새끼를 낳아도 풀이 없으므로 그 새끼를 내어버리고
6 들나귀들은 산언덕에 서서 이리처럼 헐떡이며 풀이 없으므로 쇠약해져서 앞을 제대로 보지 못한다.”
7 여호와여, 우리 죄가 우리에게 불리하게 증거할지라도 주의 이름을 위해 우리를 도우소서. 우리가 크게 타락하여 주께 범죄하였습니다.
8 이스라엘의 희망이시며 환난 때의 구원자이시여, 어째서 주는 낯선 사람처럼, 하룻밤만 머무는 나그네처럼 하십니까?
9 어째서 주는 놀라 어리벙벙한 사람 같고 도울 능력이 없는 병사 같으십니까? 여호와여, 그래도 주는 우리 가운데 계시고 우리는 주의 백성입니다. 우리를 버리지 마소서.
10 여호와께서 이 백성에 대하여 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “그들이 나를 떠나서 방황하기를 좋아하고 자제하지 않으므로 내가 그들을 받아들이지 않겠다. 내가 그들의 죄를 기억하고 그 죄에 대하여 그들을 벌할 것이다.”
11 여호와께서 또 나에게 말씀하셨다. “너는 이 백성을 축복해 달라고 기도하지 말아라.
12 그들이 금식하여도 내가 그들의 부르짖음을 듣지 않을 것이며 그들이 불로 태워 바치는 번제와 곡식으로 드리는 소제를 바쳐도 내가 받지 않고 오히려 전쟁과 기근과 전염병으로 그들을 없애 버릴 것이다.”
13 그래서 내가 대답하였다. “주 여호와여, 보소서. 예언자들이 백성들에게 ‘너희는 전쟁을 치르거나 기근을 당하지 않을 것이며 여호와께서 이 땅에 항구적인 평화를 주실 것이다’ 하고 말합니다.”
14 그때 여호와께서 나에게 이렇게 말씀하셨다. “예언자들이 내 이름으로 거짓 예언을 하고 있다. 나는 그들을 보내지도 않았고 그들에게 명령하거나 말하지도 않았는데 그들은 자기들이 보지도 듣지도 못한 거짓된 환상과 계시를 말하고 자기들 멋대로 생각하고 조작해서 헛되고 거짓된 것을 너희에게 예언하고 있다.
15 그러므로 내가 보내지 않았는데도 ‘전쟁과 기근은 이 땅에 닥치지 않을 것이다’ 하고 내 이름으로 예언하는 예언자들에 대하여 나 여호와가 말한다. 그들이 바로 그 전쟁과 기근으로 멸망하고 말 것이다.
16 그리고 그들의 예언을 들은 백성들도 그 기근과 전쟁으로 죽어 그들의 시체는 예루살렘 거리에 던져질 것이다. 그러나 그들의 아내와 자식들까지 다 죽고 없기 때문에 그들을 묻어 줄 자가 없을 것이다. 내가 그들의 악을 반드시 갚고야 말겠다.
17 “너는 그들에게 이렇게 말하라. ‘내가 밤낮 눈물을 흘리며 울지 않을 수 없으니 나의 처녀 딸과 같은 내 백성이 아주 심한 타격을 받아 다 죽게 되었기 때문이다.
18 들에 나가 보면 칼날에 죽은 자들의 시체뿐이요, 성에 들어가면 굶주림과 질병으로 죽어 가는 자들의 아우성이며, 예언자들과 제사장들은 사방 돌아다니지만 어떻게 해야 좋을지 모르고 있다.’ ”
백성들의 부르짖음
19 주께서는 유다를 완전히 버리셨습니까? 주는 시온을 싫어하십니까? 어째서 우리를 고칠 수 없을 정도로 치셨습니까? 우리가 평화를 바라지만 아무것도 좋은 것이 없고 고침받는 때를 기다리지만 오히려 두려움뿐입니다.
20 여호와여, 우리가 우리의 악과 우리 조상의 죄를 인정합니다. 정말 우리가 주께 범죄하였습니다.
21 주의 이름을 위해 우리를 미워하지 마소서. 주의 영광스러운 보좌를 욕되게 하지 마시며 우리와 맺은 주의 계약을 기억하시고 그것을 깨뜨리지 마소서.
22 어떤 이방 신이 비를 내리게 할 수 있겠습니까? 하늘이 스스로 소나기를 내릴 수 있습니까? 우리 하나님 여호와여, 그렇게 하시는 분이 바로 주가 아니십니까? 그러므로 우리가 주께 희망을 두는 것은 주께서 이 모든 일을 행하시기 때문입니다.

Drought, Famine, Sword
14 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:(A)
2 “Judah mourns,(B)
her cities languish;
they wail for the land,
and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.
3 The nobles send their servants for water;
they go to the cisterns
but find no water.(C)
They return with their jars unfilled;
dismayed and despairing,
they cover their heads.(D)
4 The ground is cracked
because there is no rain in the land;(E)
the farmers are dismayed
and cover their heads.
5 Even the doe in the field
deserts her newborn fawn
because there is no grass.(F)
6 Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights(G)
and pant like jackals;
their eyes fail
for lack of food.”(H)
7 Although our sins testify(I) against us,
do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.(J)
For we have often rebelled;(K)
we have sinned(L) against you.
8 You who are the hope(M) of Israel,
its Savior(N) in times of distress,(O)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
like a traveler who stays only a night?
9 Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
like a warrior powerless to save?(P)
You are among(Q) us, Lord,
and we bear your name;(R)
do not forsake(S) us!
10 This is what the Lord says about this people:
“They greatly love to wander;
they do not restrain their feet.(T)
So the Lord does not accept(U) them;
he will now remember(V) their wickedness
and punish them for their sins.”(W)
11 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray(X) for the well-being of this people. 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry;(Y) though they offer burnt offerings(Z) and grain offerings,(AA) I will not accept(AB) them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword,(AC) famine(AD) and plague.”(AE)
13 But I said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! The prophets(AF) keep telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine.(AG) Indeed, I will give you lasting peace(AH) in this place.’”
14 Then the Lord said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies(AI) in my name. I have not sent(AJ) them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions,(AK) divinations,(AL) idolatries[a] and the delusions of their own minds. 15 Therefore this is what the Lord says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ Those same prophets will perish(AM) by sword and famine.(AN) 16 And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury(AO) them, their wives, their sons and their daughters.(AP) I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.(AQ)
17 “Speak this word to them:
“‘Let my eyes overflow with tears(AR)
night and day without ceasing;
for the Virgin(AS) Daughter, my people,
has suffered a grievous wound,
a crushing blow.(AT)
18 If I go into the country,
I see those slain by the sword;
if I go into the city,
I see the ravages of famine.(AU)
Both prophet and priest
have gone to a land they know not.(AV)’”
19 Have you rejected Judah completely?(AW)
Do you despise Zion?
Why have you afflicted us
so that we cannot be healed?(AX)
We hoped for peace
but no good has come,
for a time of healing
but there is only terror.(AY)
20 We acknowledge(AZ) our wickedness, Lord,
and the guilt of our ancestors;(BA)
we have indeed sinned(BB) against you.
21 For the sake of your name(BC) do not despise us;
do not dishonor your glorious throne.(BD)
Remember your covenant(BE) with us
and do not break it.
22 Do any of the worthless idols(BF) of the nations bring rain?(BG)
Do the skies themselves send down showers?
No, it is you, Lord our God.
Therefore our hope is in you,
for you are the one who does all this.(BH)

Sword, Famine, and Pestilence
14 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts.
2 “Judah mourns,
And (A)her gates languish;
They (B)mourn for the land,
And (C)the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
3 Their nobles have sent their lads for water;
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were (D)ashamed and confounded
(E)And covered their heads.
4 Because the ground is parched,
For there was (F)no rain in the land,
The plowmen were ashamed;
They covered their heads.
5 Yes, the deer also gave birth in the field,
But [a]left because there was no grass.
6 And (G)the wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights;
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
7 O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us,
Do it (H)for Your name’s sake;
For our backslidings are many,
We have sinned against You.
8 (I)O 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 for a night?
9 Why should You be like a man astonished,
Like a mighty one (J)who cannot save?
Yet You, O Lord, (K)are in our midst,
And we are called by Your name;
Do not leave us!
10 Thus says the Lord to this people:
(L)“Thus they have loved to wander;
They have not restrained their feet.
Therefore the Lord does not accept them;
(M)He will remember their iniquity now,
And punish their sins.”
11 Then the Lord said to me, (N)“Do not pray for this people, for their good. 12 (O)When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and (P)when they offer burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them. But (Q)I will consume them by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.”
13 (R)Then I said, “Ah, Lord God! Behold, the prophets say to them, ‘You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine, but I will give you [b]assured (S)peace in this place.’ ”
14 And the Lord said to me, (T)“The prophets prophesy lies in My name. (U)I have not sent them, commanded them, nor spoken to them; they prophesy to you a false vision, [c]divination, a worthless thing, and the (V)deceit of their heart. 15 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, whom I did not send, (W)and who say, ‘Sword and famine shall not be in this land’—‘By sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed! 16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; (X)they will have no one to bury them—them nor their wives, their sons nor their daughters—for I will pour their wickedness on them.’
17 “Therefore you shall say this word to them:
(Y)‘Let my eyes flow with tears night and day,
And let them not cease;
(Z)For the virgin daughter of my people
Has been broken with a mighty stroke, with a very severe blow.
18 If I go out to (AA)the field,
Then behold, those slain with the sword!
And if I enter the city,
Then behold, those sick from famine!
Yes, both prophet and (AB)priest go about in a land they do not know.’ ”
The People Plead for Mercy
19 (AC)Have You utterly rejected Judah?
Has Your soul loathed Zion?
Why have You stricken us so that (AD)there is no healing for us?
(AE)We looked for peace, but there was no good;
And for the time of healing, and there was trouble.
20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness
And the iniquity of our (AF)fathers,
For (AG)we have sinned against You.
21 Do not abhor us, for Your name’s sake;
Do not disgrace the throne of Your glory.
(AH)Remember, do not break Your covenant with us.
22 (AI)Are there any among (AJ)the idols of the nations that can cause (AK)rain?
Or can the heavens give showers?
(AL)Are You not He, O Lord our God?
Therefore we will wait for You,
Since You have made all these.
