¹ This is what Yahweh spoke to me concerning the drought:[1]

² “Judah is weeping,

³ The elite send their servants for water,

⁴ Since there has been no rain,

⁵ Because there is no grass,

⁶ The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights,

⁷ Our guilty sins cry out against us;[2]

⁸ O Hope of Israel,

⁹ You are a mighty warrior!

¹⁰ Then Yahweh spoke to me concerning these people: “They love to go astray, and they find such pleasure in their wandering. Therefore, I no longer find pleasure in them. Now I will remember all the evil they have done and punish their sins.”

¹¹ And Yahweh said to me, “Don’t intercede on behalf of these people![3]

¹² They can fast and pray all they want, but I still won’t listen to their cry. Neither will I accept their burnt offerings and meal offerings that they present to me. I will destroy them by war, food shortages, and plague.”[4]

¹³ I said, “But Lord Yahweh! The prophets are prophesying: ‘You won’t experience war; neither will food shortages come upon you. God will protect you securely in this place.’ ”

¹⁴ Then Yahweh replied: “The prophets are using my name to lie to the people. I’ve not sent them or commissioned them. I’ve not spoken a word to them. They prophesy false promises[5] and speak of an imaginary future—things they have made up in their minds.

¹⁵ This is what I, Yahweh, am going to do to those lying prophets. They claim to speak in my name although I did not send them, and they say that there will be no war or food shortages in this land. Therefore, it is by war and food shortages that I will kill them.

¹⁶ And those who foolishly believed these prophecies will meet the same end. They will all die from war and food shortages, along with their wives and sons and daughters. Their bodies will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem, with no one to bury them. For I will bring evil to them as they have been evil.”

¹⁷ “So, Jeremiah, speak your message of sorrow over them:

¹⁸ If I go into the countryside—

¹⁹ Lord, have you completely rejected Judah?

²⁰ Yahweh, we acknowledge our wickedness before you—

²¹ For the sake of your great name, do not disown us;

²² Can any of the false gods of foreign nations give us rain?
