Douay Rheims Original ↷
Jeremiah 14 📜 📕 ↷
15 Therefore thus saith our Lord of the Prophets, that prophesy in my name, whom I sent not, that say: There shall not be sword, and famine in this land: In sword and famine shall those Prophets be consumed.📜💬📚
16 And the peoples to whom they prophesy, shall be cast forth in the ways of Jerusalem through famine and sword, and there shall be none to bury them; they & their wives, their sons & their daughters, and I will pour out their evil upon them.📜💬📚
17 And thou shalt say this word unto them: Let mine eyes shed tears night & day, & not cease, because the virgin daughter of my people is afflicted with great affliction, with a very sore plague exceedingly.📜💬📚
18 If I shall go out to the fields, lo the slain with the sword: and If I enter into the city, lo the pined away with famine. For the Prophet & the Priest are gone into a land which they knew not.📜💬📚
A Prayer for Mercy
19 Why, casting off hast thou cast away Juda, or hath thy soul abhorred Sion? Why then hast thou striken us, so that there is not health? We have expected peace, & there is no good: and a time of curing, and behold trouble.📜💬📚
20 We have known o Lord our impieties, the iniquities of our fathers, because we have sinned to thee.📜💬📚
21 Give us not into reproach for thy name's sake, neither make us to have the contumely of the throne of thy glory: remember, make not thy covenant with us void.📜💬📚
22 Why, are there among the sculptiles of the Gentiles that can rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Art not thou the Lord our God, whom we have expected? For thou hast made all these things.📜💬📚
