## Jeremiah 14:18-20 in Context (Verses 15–22 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/15) 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.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/16) And 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.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/17) ¶ Therefore 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.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/18) If 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.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/19) Hast 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!
 
 [20 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/20) We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, *and* the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/21) Do not abhor *us*, for thy name’s sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/jeremiah/14/22) Are 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*.
