1Yo, the word from God hit Jeremiah about the drought vibes.

2Judah's all sad, gates looking rough; everything's dark, and Jerusalem's crying out.

3Their nobles sent the kiddos to the water, but they came back empty-handed, feeling mad sus.

4The ground's all cracked 'cause no rain, and the farmers are just ashamed, hiding their faces.

5Even the deer ditched the field 'cause there’s no grass, fr.

6Wild donkeys chilling on the hills, sniffing the wind like dragons, but their eyes are all sad, no grass around.

7O Lord, our mess-ups are real, but do it for your name's sake; we've fallen off hard.

8O hope of Israel, our savior in tough times, why you acting like a stranger here, just passing through?

9Why you looking all shocked, like a hero who can’t save? But you, O Lord, are here with us, and we’re called by your name; don’t dip on us.

10God’s like, "These people just love to wander; they won’t chill out, so I’m not accepting them. I’m about to remember their sins."

11Then God told me, "Don’t pray for their good, fam."

12When they fast, I won’t hear them; their offerings? Nah, not accepting those. I’ll just let them feel the sword, famine, and sickness.

13So I was like, "Yo, God! The prophets are telling them they won’t see trouble, but I’m giving them peace here."

14God was like, "The prophets are lying in my name; I didn’t send them, and they’re just spreading false vibes."

15So God says about those prophets, "They say there’s no sword or famine here; but they’re gonna be the ones taken out by it."

16And the people they prophesy to will be out in the streets of Jerusalem, no one to bury them or their fam, 'cause I’m pouring out their wickedness.

17So you gotta tell them this: Let my eyes shed tears night and day, 'cause my peeps are hurting bad.

18If I step into the field, I see the slain; if I hit the city, it’s all sick from famine! The prophets and priests are lost in a land they don’t know.

19Have you totally rejected Judah? Do you hate Zion? Why you hitting us with no healing? We wanted peace, but it’s all trouble!

20We admit, O Lord, our wickedness and our fam's sins; we’ve messed up big time.

21Don’t hate us for your name’s sake, don’t disgrace your glory; remember, don’t break your promise with us.

22Are any of the fake gods out there able to make it rain? Can the heavens shower us? Aren’t you, O Lord our God? We’ll wait on you, 'cause you made all this.

1The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.

2Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

3And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.

4Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

5Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.

6And 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.

7O 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.

8O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?

9Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O Lord, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

10Thus 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.

11Then said the Lord unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.

12When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

13Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.

14Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

15Therefore 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.

16And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.

17Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine 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 blow.

18If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.

19Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!

20We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.

21Do not abhor us, for thy name’s sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.

22Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Lord our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
