Jeremiah 14:17

“This is the word that Yahweh has spoken against him: ‘She has despised you and mocked you, The virgin daughter of Zion; She has shaken her head behind you, The daughter of Jerusalem!

My eyes shed streams of water, Because they do not keep Your law.

“I will lay it waste; It will not be pruned or hoed, But briars and thorns will come up. I will also command the clouds to rain no rain on it.”

this is the word that Yahweh has spoken against him: “She has despised you and mocked you, The virgin daughter of Zion; She has shaken her head behind you, The daughter of Jerusalem!

For the brokenness of the daughter of my people I am broken; I mourn, desolation has taken hold of me.

“Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, That our eyes may shed tears And our eyelids flow with water.

Woe is me, because of my injury! My wound is desperately sick. But I said, “Truly this is a sickness, And I must bear it.”

But if you will not listen to it, My soul will cry in secret for such pride; And my eyes will bitterly weep And flow down with tears Because the flock of Yahweh has been taken captive.

“Therefore thus says Yahweh, ‘Ask now among the nations, Who ever heard the like of this? The virgin of Israel Has done a most appalling thing.

“For these things I am weeping; My eyes run down with water; Because far from me is a comforter, One who restores my soul. My children are desolate Because the enemy has prevailed.”

My eyes pour down unceasingly, Without stopping,

She has fallen; she will not rise again— The virgin Israel. She lies abandoned on her land; There is none to raise her up.
